Hi John, and all —

If this is the GTFS data for Ottawa:

	http://data.ottawa.ca/dataset/oc-transpo-schedules

then it's published under the City of Ottawa Open Data - Terms of use:

	http://ottawa.ca/en/mobile-apps-and-open-data/open-data-terms-use

This licence is incompatible with the ODbL used by OSM:

	http://clipol.org/licences/16?tab=licence_compatibility

and therefore these data, and any others derived from Ottawa municipal
data sets, should be removed from the map.

I know that there may be commuting apps that rely on these data points,
but it's Ottawa's silly fault for using a licence that's only compatible
with itself.

cheers,
 Stewart
