[OSM-talk-be] cadastral plan now open data

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

André asked to include the WMS of this service by default in the JOSM
repository. A long conversation ensued. Some of the confusion is caused by
the fact that the WMS probably contains outdated license info. I have now
asked the FOD Finances for a second time to clarify this. The ticket was
closed, which is probably a good thing, as it is probably not a good idea
to show this data by default in JOSM anyway!

But even for the license of the downloadable files the JOSM team seemed a
bit worried: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/16693#comment:7
When I read the license, I felt attribution requierement in the license was
defined loosely enough that mentioning it under Contributors would be
enough. It would be nice to hear from other people how they interpret this
license.
