OSM the Legal Monster

@SimonPoole : It’s spliting hairs a bit, but I think the trademark policy is fair game, as the subset of OSM users/contributors that have used somewhere the “OpenStreetMap” brand is around 100%.

For example posting on a social network “I just made my first Open Street Maps contribution” (typos intended) would be covered by this policy, even if nobody cares about enforcing it.

OSM the Legal Monster

I think GDPR and other “underlying legislation” are besides SunCobalt’s point as the “OSM project” did not write those or did not actively choose them (e.g. Creative Commons/ODbL).

"JustGo" : a new map for OSM (local) public transport data visualization

Pretty neat !

Maybe you could mention that you are using Overpass API and the overpass-api.de server ? Their server is used by a lot of projects and having a mention is the least consumers can do :)

Location to put package

Hello,

I’m not sure who you are trying to reach with your blog message, but this is a blog platform related to OpenStreetMap, a map database.

Get ready for osmcha.org

Thank you for the heads up !

addr:county tag within Somerset

Note that the same goes for country, postcode, city etc. Most of those are already mapped as boundaries, so mappers only need to add “addresses” that cannot be determined automatically.

addr:county tag within Somerset

There is no need to add this tag on every entity inside the county, it only bloats the database.

The county administrative boundaries seem well-mapped, and a random search with Nominatim confirms that entities inside the boundary can correctly be geocoded as part of the Somerset county.

Will the notes ever be published?

I want to know who is responsible and for them to be held accountable, preferrably removed from project.

That is not remaining civil. Your comment under the post is.

I don’t think OSM has any stake in this dispute, as they state in Informationfor officials and diplomats ofcountries and entities with disputed territories :

“The existence of a name, boundary location or description in the OpenStreetMapdatabase does NOT imply that that it is legally correct in any jurisdiction.”

They only made a decision to conform to a rule that was approved before this dispute.

Will the notes ever be published?

This was not a light decision, and one that they would have preferred not to take. Please remain civil, that will help your voice to be heard.

Where am I?

On the top-right side of the map on the main website, there is a button (the third one) that let’s you display your location. This data comes from your browser, so the precision can vary.

If you have a smartphone, you can use an application such as OsmAnd that can use GPS to give you a more exact location, on the go.
