[OSM-talk] CORINE land cover data

[Oscar Orbe]

Hello, Ciprian. Is it not strange that each OSM community has to explicitly ask EEA about it? we're are talking about _one_ database (OSM) and _one_ dataset (CLC)? The confirmation you received was limited to the Romanian data? The CLC dataset is not homogeneous in terms of license then? --Oscar

Hi Oscar,
I have found different statements about the license of CLC data on the EEA website at some point so we (Romania's OSM users) took the time to send them an email asking about using their data in OSM. The response was positive and was delivered in around 2 weeks. So I recommend to do the same thing if you want to be sure.

Hello, in this page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Corine_Land_Cover it says "Until now, the terms of use did not allow commercial use unless the Agency has expressly granted the right to do so [2]", but if you go to link [2], it says "Unless otherwise indicated, re-use of content on the EEA website for commercial or non-commercial purposes is permitted free of charge, provided that the source is acknowledged." Is our wiki out-of-date? CLC data can now be used in OSM (not only in France and other specific areas)? --Oscar
