Caro prof. Hasenack,

Muito obrigado pelo e-mail anterior indicando que podemos usar os dados.
Recebi uma resposta da comunidade internacional e preciso corrigir um
detalhe do que eu disse a vocês. Antes, uma pergunta crucial: é suficiente
"citar" a fonte acrescentando a tag "source=Labgeo-UFRGS" a cada um dos
objetos importados no mapa? Essa informação só estaria disponível em modo
de edição.

Quanto à atribuição na página de copyright (
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright), parece ser mais restrita às fontes
que disponibilizam seus dados comercialmente (sob copyright) e não para
contribuidores que produzem seus dados sem fins lucrativos, como seria o
caso do Labgeo. Para esse, o lugar adequado seria nesta página do wiki (à
qual muitos têm acesso de edição):
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors

Então, eu preciso perguntar a vocês novamente se citar o Labgeo nesta outra
página é atribuição suficiente para vocês. Eu solicitei que colocassem um
link pra essa página a partir da página de copyright, de modo a garantir
uma visibilidade similar a todos, mas pode demorar pra fazerem.

Eu estava um pouco desatualizado, a comunidade parece ter iniciado um
movimento no sentido de solicitar aos contribuidores se aceitam ou não os
"termos do contribuidor" (
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms). Acredito que
o objetivo seja se proteger de futuros problemas legais. Eles têm acumulado
a informação aqui: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue

Assim, não querendo abusar da boa vontade de vocês, gostaria de pedir (sem
urgência) um texto curto (nem precisa usar linguagem muito rebuscada),
apenas ressaltando os pontos 2, 3 e 4 dos termos do contribuidor, que são:
1. Que a OSMF tem o direito de usar como bem entender os dados contribuídos
pelo Labgeo nesse momento (o Diagnóstico Ambiental disponível no site) para
qualquer fim, inclusive fim comercial, por tempo indeterminado
2. Que a OSMF pode sublicenciar esses dados contribuídos sob a licença DbCL
1.0 (http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/dbcl/1-0/)
3. Que a licença da OSMF pode mudar futuramente para outra licença aberta
(como a Creative Commons) somente se houver voto majoritário por pelo menos
2/3 dos membros da OSMF
4. Que a OSMF concorda em fazer a devida atribuição ao Labgeo ou ao
detentor do copyright, e que atualmente o local para isso é:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors

Acho que seria justo acrescentar ao item 4 a questão de fazer a atribuição
com a tag "source=Labgeo-UFRGS". Algumas observações sobre os itens acima:

Item 1: entendo que isso não se aplicaria a dados futuros do Labgeo (como
uma edição atualizada do Diagnóstico Ambiental), a menos que vocês digam
que é permitido também.

Item 2: a DbCL me parece apenas incluir a ODbL e acrescentar a isenção da
OSMF da responsabilidade sobre os dados. Ela também ressalta que os dados
da OSMF, se usados por um terceiro, podem ser "sublicenciados". Isso
significa que tudo aquilo que for copiado da OSMF tem que ser
disponibilizado sob a mesma licença, apenas dados novos poderiam ter outra
licença.

Item 3: da última vez que houve uma mudança de licença (da CC para a ODbL),
cada usuário pôde votar se aceitava ou não a nova licença. As reversões
foram feitas por usuário. Mas acho muito difícil que a licença mude,
acompanho as listas da OSMF e não vejo ninguém falando sobre esse assunto.

Por fim, sei que foi uma mensagem longa, então queria mais uma vez
agradecer toda a atenção que vocês têm oferecido à comunidade do OSM. Um
grande abraço,

Fernando

(IMHO naturally) From a content pov, an agreement or a statement from a
contributing agency should be based roughly on the terms laid down in the
contributor terms (
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms).   They should
mainly grant the OSMF the rights listed in (2) and it would be nice if they
would make a statement to the fact that they actually own the necessary
rights in the data to do so.

It's a very similar situation indeed, Jaakko. Here such forms would take
years to get processed sometimes, it all depends on the good will of who
receives the request. I've noticed that this "will" is more responsive when
the person knows how to answer, or at least knows who to delegate the
request to (specially if this person is not a very specialized busy top
manager), so simple and easy questions are more effective at getting a
clear answer faster.

 Wish you luck as well!
