[OSM-talk] Extending OSM with data from geonames.org?

[Hakan Tandogan]

Hi everyone,


I realize that we don't want wholesale copying of data from geonames.org 
because some of that data might be derived from google.

How about selectively augmenting data that we already have in OSM with 
additional information from (and links to) geonames?

Specifically, I'd like to fetch place nodes that already exist in OSM 
and try to match them with places in the geonames database. If I find a 
match, I'd like to add tags containing the geonames ID and alternate 
place names.

Is this still covered by our licence model?


Regards,
Hakan
