[Talk-ca] Open Data for Airdrie AB

[James]

While I don't see anything in the license that wouldn't be compatible with
OSM except maybe the attribution placement: as osm maintains licenses on
the wiki and not in the data it's kind of "not the same project" and you'd
have to ask city if attribution in the wiki would be sufficient then go
through the LegalWorkingGroup(4-6 months later) you might get an answer.

It would be simpler if as Kevin said, they contribute to Statstics Canada
open building database as the federal license has already been approved
