[OSM-talk] Geofabrik downloads post-licence-change

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    this is a small heads-up to users of the Geofabrik downloads from 
download.geofabrik.de.

After the OSM license change is complete and the first ODbL planet is 
published, it will take another day or so to generate the first round of 
extracts and shape files, and daily production will then resume 
normally, with all extracts published under ODbL.

However, to avoid people downloading the new, differently-licensed 
extracts without knowing, we will change the download URL (most likely 
from /osm/... to /openstreetmap/...). The last version of the CC-BY-SA 
extracts will remain, un-updated, under /osm for a while, and then we 
will make  /osm point to a big "url has changed" page.

There will be no automatic redirects.

Bye
Frederik
