[OSM-talk] Using Wikipedia to add names in other languages

[Maurizio Napolitano]

Finally someone who remembers it

IMHO:
The quick&dirty solution can be to ask the producer the permission to add
the data inserted from wikipedia to openstreetmap with a flag.

On the same time I ask my self how significant is this contribution inside
the entire openstreetmap database.

In a long long way I think that we have to ask to Open Knowledge
International (the producer of the ODbL) and Creative Commons to find a
right way to find a solution to this problem.
Maybe an upgrade of the ODbL can solve some.

What do you think about a discussion between WMF, OSMF, OKFN and CC to
solve the problem is a trasparent way for the community?
