Hello,
The import of the new ODbL licensed OSM data on the toolserver is now
more or less complete. Currently it is still in a separate set of tables
(planet_import_{node,way,rels,...}) but I intend to switch the tables
over to the default ones by tomorrow.
After that all OpenStreetMap data and any derivatives on the toolserver
will be licensed ODbL. If you are using the data, please check that your
use is in compliance with the new license and remember to update the
attribution as appropriate.
After the OSM replicated DB having been somewhat problematic over the
recent weeks on toolserver, things will hopefully now run more smoothly
again and remain up-to-date to about 15 minutes of the main OSM database.
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
Kai

For the OSM-Gadget and WIWOSM it should be a small effort to change the
attribution.
For three layers we have in OSM-Gadget 3 attributions and limited space,
Parts of the attribution are translated by translate wiki. Our
attributions are in the moment:
"Map by OpenStreetMap (CC-BY-SA), Wikipedia (CC-BY-SA), WIWOSM"
I would change it to
"(c) OpenStreetMap contributors: license, Wikipedia (CC-BY-SA), WIWOSM"
As mention here[2]. Would this be correct?
To make the right attribution easier, it would be nice if
osm.org would
have the attribution on the map like it want have it on external maps,
because else I believe the ODBL-documentation in the OSM-Wiki is very
complex and confusing.
Greetings Kolossos

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.
Kai
