Licence/Licence and Legal FAQ: Difference between revisions

* The [http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ Open Database License, "ODbL" 1.0]
 
* The OpenStreetMap [[LicenseLicence/Contributor_Terms|Contributor Terms]]. This acts as the Contents license referred to by ODbL. Note that we have endeavoured to design our licensing system to use just the ODbL license as a "one stop shop" regarding the rights and obligations of end users. It is not our intent for any Contents license to restrict rights further nor to add extra obligations.
 
* [[LicenseLicence/Community Guidelines|Community_Guidelines]] These analyse specific legal terms and generic language in the ODbL specifically as it regards our geodata and how it used. For example, what does the EU Database Directive term "Substantial" extraction mean in practical terms. They carry no formal legal weight but do present what the OpenStreetMap community, and therefore the OSM Foundation as publisher, feels to be reasonable and acceptable.
