[Talk-us-massachusetts] Importing MA Address from MassGIS

[Jason Remillard]

Hi Greg,

https://docs.digital.mass.gov/dataset/massgis-data-master-address-data-statewide-address-points-geocoding

It looks like MassGIS clarified the licensing situation. It is cc-by.

https://opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by/

OSM policy on cc-by v4 is that we should ask explicit permission to import
it.
