[OSM-talk] Using an extract from OSM in an academic paper

[David Cottingham]

Hi All,

I'm sure this question's been asked before, but I've searched the archives 
and can't find an answer...

I'm using OSM data as part of my research, and one of the resulting papers 
that I'm in the process of writing will have some images that combine a 
small amount of OSM data (most of the city of Cambridge, UK) with my own 
layers.

In order to be published, I must either own all copyright on the contents, 
or be licensed to use whichever parts I do not hold copyright in.

Can anyone enlighten me as to:

- How should OSM be attributed as the source of the data? (e.g. "Map data 
from Open Street Map, under CC-SA license").

- Can I, despite the fact that the images I create that utilise OSM 
data are classed as derived works and hence the images should be 
dsitributed under the CC-SA license (correct me if I'm wrong!), 
still publish those images in a paper whose copyright will be owned by the 
publisher?

It's the second of these points that is particularly bothering me!

Thanks,

David.
