Attention -- mkgmap Built maps with data as of today or newer need NEW: Bounds and Sea Files!!!! and need to be put under ODBL
Just a warning, so you don't mess up the license. All maps with data built of today or later, need to be put under odbl. So change your license terms accordingly. Also of course the old boundary files, and/or coastline/sea files, need to be new and under odbl. So for right now, best don't download new map data, and be careful not to violate any license until new boundary and sea files are published (under odbl), and mkgmap has changed (a switch??) the license information it adds to be compatible with odbl. Which actually leads to the next thing? Does anyone know, what mkgmap created maps actually are? I assume the .img are a database (except the overview map, because it doesn't contain any information that could classify it as a database), and hence need to be put under odbl. But what is the map overall? (eg a setup.exe, or a gmapsupp.img which contains a .typfile, published under a different license?) Should we post this on legal talk, or does anyone know how the odbl license changeover, affects mkgmap created osm maps? -- keep on biking and discovering new trails Felix openmtbmap.org & www.velomap.org

Sorry, but that's not completly correct. According to http://blog.osmfoundation.org/2012/09/06/your-first-odbl-planet/, starting with the next planet file, the data will be under ODBL. And the data from the current path will stay with the old license, the ODBL data will be find under a new location, so that you don't mix up ODBL data and CC-by-SA data by accident. More details will be posted in the next days. So what you can download as of today is still CC-BY-SA and not ODBL, you need to active switch the download directory to get ODBL data.

Well, Geofabrik downloads as of today are all blank. So I assumed that the newest planet has been published already (different location - and hence no extracts). That's why I wrote, built with data as of today or later. Of course old data stays CCBYSA 2.0 - for which you'll need old boundary and old sea data. At least Geofabrik has put the "old" data into another folder, why the standard folders, are up to date odbl bot cleaned data (though until yesterday not yet odbl but still CCBYSA 2.0).

Since there is no planet file under ODBL released, even the odbl bot cleaned data from today is still CCBYSA and will stay that until the workgroup announces something else. So please don't use or distribute that data as ODBL. -- Thorsten Kukuk, Project Manager/Release Manager SLES SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
