Hello everyone, as you probably all know OpenStreetMap has been in the process of changing its license for a while. Well, as of two days ago the process was finally completed and the source data from OpenStreetMap.org is now licensed under the OBbL 1.0 [1]. For the moment the data in the osm_mapnik database on the toolserver is still CC-BY-SA as the replication was suspend at the time of the license change. However, in order to enable updates again, we have to transition over to ODbL as well. For legal reasons, the recommended (by the OSMF) transition strategy is to drop any existing databases and re-import them fresh from the newly release planet file now licensed under ODbL. To be able to enable updates again, I would like to do that fairly soon. Apart from that, the attribution string needs to be slightly changed for all projects that are using the OpenStreetMap data, once the re-import has completed. With respect to tile licensing, I suggest we follow the example of osm's tileserver. While the underlying data is licensed ODbL, the rendered tiles would be licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 Could everyone who uses the OSM database on toolserver therefore please check if there are any issues with transitioning to ODbL and prepare for the change of attribution? Given that the OpenStreetMap is used in Wikipedia through the OSM-gadget, WMA and WIWOSM, does the wikimedia legal team have any suggestions or objections to the change? I'll keep you posted.
