=About The OpenStreetMap Licence Change=
 
The OpenStreetMap project has moved to a new licence, known as the '''Open Database License (ODbL)''' which replaces the former Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 2.0 licenselicence due to problems with the CC-BY-SA licence when applied to data. The licence clarifies the terms under which people make contributions to the project and the terms under which people can use the data. It is a basically a share alike licence for data.
 
The licence was developed by [http://www.opendatacommons.org/ OpenDataCommons] a project of the [http://www.okfn.org/ Open Knowledge Foundation].
