[OSM-talk] Licence change

[Simon Poole]

Maurizio

We currently have "a bit of a mess" wrt how we manage external data 
sources and imports. Currently each source should have:

- a wiki page with the details
- in the case of an import a dedicated user account
- an entry in the import catalogue
- if attribution is necessary outside of changeset tags an entry on
      - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors
   or if a "major" source, an entry on
     - http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

Everybody who was involved with the nitty gritty details of the licence 
change has probably realized that the above documentation is woefully 
incomplete and that the lists are becoming unmanageably large. And from 
an attribution pov the decision on which page the source lands is rather 
arbitrary.

  I've done some thinking about replacing some of the above with a 
database based solution that would make some aspects easier (by for 
example generating attribution lists automatically) and will probably 
whip up a prototype  when I get back home from vacation if nobody beats 
me to it.

For now I would suggest simply completing the existing lists.
