== What we do ==
One of the Foundation [[Working Groups]], the '''Licensing Working Group''' is charged with looking at
* Licensing matters relating to ''using'' our geodata, ([http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/summary/ our end user license], [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Community_Guidelines community guidelines], [[License|License FAQ]]).
If you have noticed a potential licence violation by a consumer of OpenStreetMap data and have been unable to resolve the matter bilaterally, please feel free to contact the LWG via e-mail.

==Join Us==
We are a group with diverse views who listen to the range of views across the OpenStreetMap community and work to create a practical and clearly communicatable consensus. We are friendly and courteous. We are always open to new members, whether to take part regularly or to work on a particular issue that frustrates you.
Our core
If you want to help from time to time or want to work on a particular issue and then stop, you are still welcome to join our meetings.
Roughly half of us are lawyers, however it is no way a requirement to participating. All we ask is genuine concern to protect the ideals and interests of OpenStreetMap and open data and to make life easier for contributors and end users. Do contact us (best by e-mail)!
