[OSM-talk] DJI Fly SafeGEO ZONE MAP uses OSM data... without attribution

[Guillaume Rischard]

Thank you Nuno for bringing this to our attention.

Everyone in this thread: Nuno is talking about the overlay *polygons*, not the background maps.

Indeed, in Luxembourg the polygons were copied from, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/155215579 which I drew half- arbitrarily through the woods. 

https://www.dji.com/lu/api/geo/areas?lng=6.1&lat=49.6&country=LU&search_radius=99999&drone=spark&level=1%2C2%2C4%2C7&zones_mode=total is the api called by the map.

Their json has:               [
                6.175669,
                49.65475
              ],

which is the exact same position as https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1676284933

DJI is copying our data without attributing us; there is no doubt about it.

Guillaume

Without a doubt its from OSM, the coordinates of the vertices matches OSM perfectly. The names are also the same...

The Pandora box has been opened with exceptions about the attribution, if other don't attribute, why would they?
