Re: [mkgmap-dev] [PATCH] Creating contour lines from DEM data

Hi! Thilo Hannemann schrieb:

As there are some people on this list who will publish their created maps I'll have to add a caveat though: You should make sure that the data source you use for the generation of the contour lines is compatible with the OSM license. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Common_licence_interpretations.

The reason why I bring that up is that for example the improved SRTM data by CIAT-CSI is in my opinion *not* compatible with the OSM license!

A very good hint. The understanding of all discussions on the matter is that the current OSM licence does not allow mixing with CIAT data nor with ASTER data. So you cannot publish those maps. bye Nop
