* Example 2: You notice that a boundary is different in your data and OpenStreetMap. You should check back to original authoritative sources and make any correction required.
===I would like to import data XYZ, can I just go ahead?===
No.
* The license of XYZ dataset needs to be compatible with our ODBL 1.0 license and/or you have informed the license owner and obtained their consent.
* Also note that if XYZ's licence is incompatible with future OSM distribution licences the relevant data will be removed.
* You need to consult with the OpenStreetMap community as to whether the data is relevant and can be imported in a manner that improves rather than degrades our map. See our OpenStreetMap Community [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines Import Guideline]
===Can third-party ODbL-licenses data be imported?===
Yes it can.
Whether it should be is another matter, see "I would like to import data XYZ, can I just go ahead?".
As with any other data import, if the licence is incompatible with future distribution licences the relevant data will be removed. This should always be a factor in deciding whether a particular import is worthwhile.
