That's a very good point. Now that I think about it, the receipts I get
from the supermarket or the hairdresser doesn't automatically give me
any permission to put the numbers in osm because then indeed I might be
breaking privacy laws(could there be a copyright violation on the
receipt? The receipt is a very small piece of paper which they give me
after I pay for the goods or services. (I live in Greece, Europe)

Hmm, if it is their real signature I have my doubts that it could be
published. Must it be hand-written or could it be digital? Does it
require a hand-written signature? In the case of a hand-written
signature they would have to consent to having their real signature
published as well. Could it be against the law to publish it even if
they agreed?

Kind regards,
Niklas
