As you know, there has been a license change of openstreetmap that rejects creative commons. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Database_License
there are a number of forks of the osm data set under the creative commons license, one is fosm.org that is to continue under the cc-by-sa license.
Would it be possible to use the toolserver for rendering of the fosm tiles? https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Rules mentions openstreetmap and related projects, this project is related but not the same.
please advise, thanks mike
Hi
Would it be possible to use the toolserver for rendering of the fosm tiles?
atm. the toolserver is fully overloaded with rendering the styles yet there -- there's no space for another database and another style.
On the other hand I don't see a planet-file (only diffs), so even if there was space, I wouldn't know where to start from.

I'm not sure if fosm is a "related project" in the meaning of those rules, as it's some kind of counter movement against osm and the Toolserver goal is to support osm and it's community. I'm somehow undecided if fosm is "supporting" the osm project (by saving it from a huge mistake) or "fighting" it (by splitting the community). This decision must be made by the operators of the toolserver cluster, before we can decide this.

OK, I can understand that fully. Well, we will wait on this for now, we have gotten permission to host the tiles on archive.org, and will work on using tiles at home for rendering, we dont need to use the toolserver for cpu.
I have put some of my long long term ideas here http://osmopenlayers.blogspot.com/2011/05/using-git-to-produce-rss-feeds-of-... thanks, mike
