[Talk-in] Adding missing towns and villages to OSM

[Ishan Chattopadhyaya]

Hi Jothirnadh,
Can you please point us to the license info of the nga.mil server you
mentioned in the blog? In case it is not of appropriate license, we cannot
import into OSM. I believe geonames.org data is not of suitable license
(others can correct me if I'm wrong). Is the data at the nga.mil map layer
based on geonames.org?
Regards,
Ishan
