[talk-ph] The legality of tracing over Google's satellite imagery

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi guys,

Richard (Potlatch developer) has blogged about legal precedent and did a
non-lawyer analysis of whether tracing stuff from Google Maps or Google
Earth is allowed or not. See http://www.systemed.net/blog/?p=100

But while he argued that it is actually permitted to trace over Google's
imagery (but HINAL), he still insists that we in OSM should *not* attempt to
do so while the legal ruling about this is still not clear.

The article's a pretty great food for thought.
