Licence and Legal FAQ/Contributor Terms Summary: Difference between revisions

# You allow the OpenStreetMap Foundation to publish your bits of data as part of the OpenStreetMap geodata set for others to use.
# The OpenStreetMap Foundation can only publish the data under a free and open license. If it fails in that, it has broken a contract with you.
# Until the proposed change-over, that license is the CC BY SA 2.0. When enough existing contributors agree to re-license their data, that license will change to [http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/ Open Database License 1.0].
# The OpenStreetMap Foundation can only pick a new free license if it's approved by the OSMF membership (a foundation of paid-up members) and a 2/3 majority vote of active contributors. You'll be considered an active contributor if you've edited in at least 3 out of the last 12 months and don't take longer than 3 weeks to reply to E-Mail.
# If you want attribution you should add your name to the Contributors page.
