Re: Licensing and why MFM should adopt Creative Commons

Bump. I met up with Antyong & company half a year ago, everybody seemed keen on moving to Creative Commons, and... nothing has happened. :shock:

Re: MFM and OpenStreetMap

jpatokal, I can see that you are updating Singapore map in OSM :thumbsup: I'm trying to practice what I preach. :-' Only got my first GPS unit two months ago though :oops: It is currently not possible for MFM map to be uploaded into OSM as OSM specifically forbids any data derived from non-public d...

Re: Licensing and why MFM should adopt Creative Commons

Wow, that's fast feedback! A few clarifications: This is about ensuring that MFM's current work is on solid legal ground, and has nothing to do with the existing MFM/MSM split.
