Hello Robin,<br><br> Thanks for poiting this out. Any thought on what license then should OpenCellID use? I would be happy if somebody with a good background on this would provide us a suggesiton on the license or even the wording to be used with OpenCellID.<br>
<br> And sebastian, as I stated yesterday, congrat for the idea, I am looking forward for the integration between this effort and OpenCellID.<br><br> Regards,<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/2/22 Robin Paulson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robin.paulson@gmail.com" target="_blank">robin.paulson@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

</div>Hi Sebastian,<br>
good to hear you're working on this project. i've been working on<br>
<a href="http://openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">openstreetmap.org</a>, a conceptually similar project, for a couple of<br>
years now - they are currently in the process of transitioning from<br>
cc-by-sa to a new license, specifically designed for databases, with<br>
the help of a lawyer or two. their theory is that cc is more for<br>
creative content, which is not really applicable to osm; this may be<br>
useful for your project too. more info here:<br>
