I absolutely think that the tag access=private intuitively sounds like
you're not allowed to go there. But the description on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access states that it's "Only
with permission of the owner on an individual basis" which is exactly
how I would interpret "access=permit" as well.

Given that description however, you are not given information about
_how_ to get that permit, if possible. So something like a 'permit' key
would be very useful here! Apparently there was some relation tag
suggested in 2010:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Relation:permit

There has obviously also been discussion on access=license (or licence)
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/License


From the top of my head I would use something pointing to a URL:
* access:url=<url>
* foot:url=<url>
* foot:permit:url=<url>
* permit=<url>
* permit:url=<url>

or maybe access:description (foot:description etc.) for a direct
human-readable text.

Tod: Is there any proposal like this out there. Is the above along the
lines of how you're thinking we could extend the current tagging scheme?
