> On the attribution angle - we've had plenty of discussions on the NZ Open GIS list about how attribution should be handled for data going into OSM - is a single reference in the OSM wiki OK? Or should we be tagging every node and derived line with a source tag that attributes the source? Both of these would attribute the data correctly, but one approach is likely to be far more robust at tracking both the provenance of the data and correctly attributing the original source.

One way to look at this might be to look at how science has handled
the issue, science is based on incremental steps made by people that
come after your research.
