The Kenyan Government is opening up some data. I wonder if it'd be interesting/possible/useful to import it into OpenStreetMap. That would depend on the licence and if it's useful.

It says "for commercial or non-commercial purposes" so no.

Yes, I meant. It says "no restrictions to the non-commercial reproduction, re-publication and re-distribution of any information published on its website."

It's a bit vague. One one hand the [About page](http://opendata.go.ke/page/about/) says "anybody is free to use this data for commercial or non-commercial purposes.", which implies it's OK to import into OSM.
OTOH the [terms of service](http://opendata.go.ke/page/terms-of-service) only mentions non-commerical use.
"whose information is provided on this website impose no restrictions to the non-commercial reproduction, re-publication and re-distribution of any information published on its website."
If only non-commerical usage is OK (i.e. by not mentioning commerical usage), then that's not OK for OSM import.
There is also implications that not all the data accessible there is from the same agency and not all covered by those terms of use, which is a bit unclear.
