I was looking at the local county assessor site, and I started to wonder if I could use their information in OpenStreetMap. There seems to be two conflicting opinions: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parcel (says you can) http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.region.us/5504 (one of the posts says you can't). And then the county website: http://www.mesacounty.us/template.aspx?id=45 The county has a (blanket) copyright notice for their information, and as far as I can tell, the state of Colorado has no laws affected copyright status either way. I'll keep on using general knowledge of my area and places that I go to for now though. ----EDIT---- Ok, I did some more searching, and found their data download portion: http://gis.mesacounty.us/datamap.aspx Extract:
This seems to indicate that it can be used, so long as Mesa County can use it as well. I don't know if this means the CC-BY-SA is acceptable for that purpose. asked 05 Aug '14, 22:28 vorpalblade77 |
