(→Can I get permission from OpenStreetMap Foundation to distribute OSM data under an alternative licence?: Updated. All data is now under new CTs) |
|||
No.
The Foundation is [[License/Contributor_Terms|contractually bound to all OpenStreetMap individual contributors]] to license the data only under a specific license. Currently, this is ODbL 1.0. The Foundation has the right to change that license to meet future conditions but only if is "free and open" and only under a mechanism that involves getting the consent of then active contributors.
Copyright to individual contributions remains with the contributor and their consent can be asked directly. If you happen to use data provided solely by one or a few OSM contributors, you can ask them if they are willing to provide their data to you under a different license.
