Hi, I'm thinking of using maps as a better/more interactive way of displaying information about certain countries. As I work for a subscription company, the maps would sit behind a pay wall. Only those who pay our subscription would be able to access the pages with the interactive maps. Can I use openstreetmap for this? Is it allowed? Thanks! |

IANAL, but this should be ok under certain conditions;

Your question is indirectly answered in our Legal FAQ which explains that you may charge for data derived from OSM. The usual license requirements of course apply (you have to attribute the source and should you derive data from OSM, that derived data must be licensed to your paying clients unter ODbL). Something that you should also keep in mind is the tile usage policy - if you want to make sure your paying customers are not dependent on the donation-supported OSM tile server then you'd want to set up your own tile server or buy tile services from one of many available vendors. |
