Licence/Licence Compatibility: Difference between revisions

CC0 licenced material is in general compatible, however the license only extends to material the licensor actually has rights in and specifically avoids making a statement on the status of any third party material included. For use in OpenStreetMap the licences of all the data that is included in the dataset need to be determined and compatibility verified.

Example: the OpenAddresses project licences its output on CC0 terms, however this only applies to the lists, data format and other related material, it does not apply to the actual address data which is licenced on a hodge-podge of different terms from PD to non-open datasets, for example the already mentionementioned G-NAF data.
