[Talk-ca] Municipal data source attribution

[Steve Singer]

What is the current procedure for meeting the attribution requirement of a 
municipal data-source released under the 'Open Government Licence" ?

Do I just need to add the source to the list at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors ?


I would like to take some of the data for Oakville released 
http://oakville.ca/data/catalogue.html , licensed under 
http://oakville.ca/data/open_data_licence.html. My understanding is that 
this is the Canadian OGL only v2.0 changed to list 'Town of Oakville' as the 
copyright holder instead of the crown.

I am NOT planning an import, at this time, or any automated conversion of 
the shapefiles to OSM files. I am planning on using the data files as a 
source to pick up some missing names of things (parks , some trails etc).
