[OSM-talk] Google Street View copyright question

[David Muir Sharnoff]

Perhaps the OSM database should be moved out of the EU to a location
that doesn't suffer from a Database Rights law.    Extracting from
no-EU data source by people not in the EU would then be okay for sure.
  Extending the Database Rights law to extracting turn restrictions
from Streetview is a stretch anyway: they turn restrictions aren't
part of the original data.
