[Toolserver-l] osm license change

[Mike Dupont]

Hi there,

what you think about osm changing the license to be non compatible on
the source level with creative commons?

It seems that the map people dont seem to care because the tiles will
still be usable, but it also means that the source data cannot be used
or copied freely into or out of wikipedia.
It also means that rendering the osm tiles will also be copying this
incompatible data with an incompatible license into the toolserver for
processing.

Does the wikipedia and toolserver just support openstreetmap directly
or does it support creative commons or where is the line being drawn?

There are also many other types of rendering that can be done with osm
sea map and other views of the data that need rendering.

Can we use toolserver cpu for rendering other map tiles or is this
only for osm tiles?

thanks,
mike
