You need to find out how far Indian copyright regulation will restrict reuse of such maps. (by creating your OSM account you agreed to only using sources that you can legally use for editing OSM).

India is a signatory to the Berne convention and while there are likely to be some differences in the details, you are going to have to assume that the maps are protected by copyright.

The simple way around the problem though is to simply ask the map creators for permission.

Using old ESRI imagery with the above method works with any app that supports custom imagery, not just iD and JOSM.

I would note that your point 1) is not correct, the ODbL in no way requires

To contribute their own data back to OSM (the “share alike” clause)

The ODbl only requires Derivative Databases (which may or may not contain additional data) to be licensed on ODbL terms, in practice that means that a recipient of the data can use it on the same licence terms as the creator of the derivative. Neither the creator of the derivative nor the recipient is required to provide it to a 3rd party, distribute it publicly or contribute to OSM.

@mpulve could you provide a link/screenshots to what you are using and that show the issues? As it is now your posting is quite puzzling.

There seems to be a small inconsistency wrt licensing. On the one hand you are claiming that everything is “Open Source” but on the other hand you are using a NC licence (see https://agroecologymap.org/en/license) that, by definition, is not an OSS licence.

Your ban seems to have little to nothing to do with the source material but far more with your behaviour towards your fellow mappers.

And as has been pointed out, just because we are allowed to use a specific source, doesn’t imply that it is suitable or even desirable to include in OSM.

Alternativ kannst du auch einen günstigen Laserdistanzmesser verwenden.

Es gibt auch solche von Bosch mit Bluetooth Unterstützung die im Prinzip auch in einer App integriert werden könnten, leider erlaubt Bosch die Nutzung des Protokolls nicht in Apps von Drittanbietern.

Small update: about a year or so back, google did actually start indexing the Android bug tracker.

Sure -you- don’t care, but lets just take the example of government organisations, up to now they had a multitude of options to acquire services outside of google from OSM based companies.

In the future they will just have the choice between the goog and an organisation controlled by Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon.

I think you are missing what the main disruptive impact of Overture really is and I might blog on that later. And yes the Linux Foundation at large, not just Marc don’t seem to understand that too.

But, it probably needs to be pointed out that contrary to what you imply, Michelle and Dorothea didn’t just randomly turn up one day, they are doing the jobs the OSMF employs them for.

@vorpalblade not only Java 17. There are at least 3 different http clients in wide use and I needed to abstract (admittedly in a bit of a hackish fashion) around that too. The thing my library has going for it that it has literally no third-party runtime dependencies so it is very lightweight.

@AkuAnakTimur quality is one aspect, but there are other reasons too.

Just for the record: https://github.com/simonpoole/pmtiles-reader and https://github.com/MarcusWolschon/osmeditor4android/pull/2391

PS: IMHO both google and MS building outlines should be considered off limits.

My post/toot on the fund raising drive got 2 retweets on TSNFKAT, but 981 (and increasing) boosts on Mastodon, even though I have roughly 30% more followers on TSNFKAT.

I can only comment on 2) and following.

Nobody had or has any problem with your question with respect to the usage of AWS.

However you can’t reasonably expect everybody to drop what they are doing to get you an immediate detailed answer, for, a in the larger scheme of things, small line item in the budget. Nor should you expect to find every detail documented in advance.

It was clearly pointed out to you that the person responsible on the technical side of things was on vacation and wouldn’t be available before today, but you didn’t pause your barrage of requests even just for two days.

Instead of blaming everybody else for your totally over the top reaction to the push back you deservedly received, maybe you should calm down and reflect a bit.

Ich finde in der PC-Version nicht die Möglichkeit,

In der PC-Version von was?

Naturally a 7 years old project will have lots of limitations compared with something recently created, that wasn’t the point.

This isn’t really a new idea, we (HSR/SOSM) ran a Maproulette challenge generated from AI identified pedestrian crossings back in November of 2016.
