Jason,
I looked up your script geobase2osm and noted several things. The
README states that this "is not ready for production work yet" which is
fine. But at the same time I also noticed that at no point have you
given a license to the script, neither in the README nor within the
script itself. Also, there is not a copyright statement anywhere, and
you deserve the right to receive credit for your work, nor a way to
contact you if someone does have some suggestions, or better yet code,
for improving the script.
Would you be willing to add a license statement, preferably for an Open
Source license, to your script? Doing so will allow others to be able
to use, and modify if necessary, your script for their work in migrating
the data from GeoBase to OSM. It may also encourage others to
contribute to the script to help you develop it further and to get it
ready for production use. Adding some way of contacting you, preferably
within one of the comment statements within the script, would also be
appreciated.
Thank you,
Richard Degelder
