[OSM-talk] CORINE land cover data

[David Murn]

Hi Ciprian,

Was this positive response you received, in response to licensing their
data under the previous OSM licence or the proposed new one?  This is
something to be mindful of if requesting permission from EEA, and
continuing to use the data long-term.

The issues with them changing their licence several times after granting
permission to use, is not dissimilar to ongoing discussions here.  It is
important to understand the terms of use of the data that you're using
and recognising they may be different from a statement given some time
in the past on the wiki.

Is our wiki out-of-date? CLC data can now be used in OSM (not only in France and other specific areas)? --Oscar
