I highly doubt Yahoo's do either. Cloudmade is based on OSM data,
they might, but as they are a .com I'm not sure, you'd have to
check.
Hi Hamish,
Yahoo's allow it, Cloudmade's allow it too - it's worth checking :-D
in fact, as usual in the law, it's a complete lottery - for instance
google map maker is unrestricted, their worry is what you could upload
rather than what you could download; while google maps has the mass
download restrictions I've referred to already, when its gps clause is
marginally more tolerant than yahoo's - referring to 'route guidance'
rather than a 'regular geolocation signal' - reminds me of 'repetitive
beats' :-)
Yahoo's are bizarrely strictly phrased around gps integration, however,
so the codebase is being modified accordingly
so the only real question for those at debian-legal who think they
understand law :-) is whether the implementation should be nitpickingly
strict - no possibility of doing what the websites' terms taken at their
highest forbid - else more tolerant = allow the viewer to override the
warning; either way it's quite possible to simply make the difference
the debian .diff, no skin off my nose :-D
Best regards
Mark
