Hello I have just sent an email asking for clarification, will forward their response.
Ciprian: "...I have found different statements about the license of CLC data on the EEA website at some point..."
Where exactly?

Until recently, the data was owned by each state. You had to ask each one of them to get the data. In addition, CLC 2000 is pretty much useless which was the only one available for free.

2006 is the one you want to start working with.

> 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

> 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.

CLC data can now be used in OSM (not only in France and other specific areas)? --Oscar
