Hello=2C

I was wondering if it is ok to use datasets available from Geoscience Austr=
alia in OpenStreetMap under an Open Database Licence (ODbL)<http://wiki.ope=
nstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Database_License>? Specifically datasets already m=
ade available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licenc=
e=2C with some examples below:

=E2=80=A2        http://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/6423=
1/

=E2=80=A2        http://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/6423=
1/

Note, the above URLs (now dead) linked to two sets of Tasmanian 1:250 000 GIS datasets (South East and South West).

If these cannot be used in OpenSteetMap due to licence restrictions=2C is i=
t possible to be granted special permission?

Thank you for investigating=2C

Good Morning,

[Introductory paragraph redacted]

I would like to clarify the scope of this permission. Does this 
permission apply to all Geoscience Australia data sets released under a 
CC-BY licence or was it limited to only the two listed in the email?

I'd also like to confirm that attribution in the form of a listing on 
the Contributors page:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Australia

meets the requirement of giving Geosciences Australia appropriate credit 
under the terms of the CC-BY licence.

Thank You

Andrew Davidson

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your email. The permission I gave was for the 1: 250 000 GIS dataset but as the majority of our products are now released under CC-BY then it is not a problem. In theory, I do not need to give individual permission for each dataset.

The attribution meets our requirements. We do usually like to have the CC-BY logo as well but if that is not possible then it is okay as is.

Regards

Elizabeth

CC BY Waiver

In April-May 2018, Andrew Harvey followed up with Geoscience Australia in light of the OSMF CC BY waiver. The Cataloguing & IP Librarian responding to the enquiry to <Copyright@ga.gov.au> noted "This email saying we agree to the waiver should be sufficient." after I sent through the waiver archived at File:CCBYPermission_GeoscienceAustralia.pdf. They are unable to actually sign the waiver document, but we should take their email that they agree to the waiver as acceptance by Geoscience Australia.
