[Francophone] Fwd: Proposal to change OpenStreetMap geodata license

Bonjour,

Je cross-poste sur les listes osm-talk-fr et osgeo francophone pour proposer
un document à traduire, en relation avec le changement de licence en cours
de OSM.

Il s'agit du premier fichier PDF en lien ci-dessous, qui est récemment
parvenu à tous les membres de la Fondation OSM.
Ce document me semble clair, bien renseigné et surtout instructif autour de
cette question importante qu'est le changement de licence.

J'ai proposé à Michael mon aide pour la traduction, avec celle des personnes
eventuellement intéressées sur ces deux listes. En crowd-sourcant, ça peut
aller plus vite ;-)

Quelle serait la meilleure méthodologie pour arriver à cette traduction ?
 - mettre le doc sur un wiki, diviser en sections, que chacun s'attribuerait
?
 - poster sur un SVN qqpart ?
 - ...

Merci d'avance,
F.

Subject: Proposal to change OpenStreetMap geodata license

 Dear Foundation Member,

As you are probably aware, we and the OpenStreetMap community have been
working on a license upgrade for OpenStreetMap geodata. Our formal proposal
is now complete and you can read it at
http://www.osmfoundation.org/images/3/3c/License_Proposal.<http://www.osmfoundation.org/images/3/3c/License_Proposal.pdf>
pdf <http://www.osmfoundation.org/images/3/3c/License_Proposal.pdf>.

We will be asking you as a Foundation member to vote yes or no on this
license change in the near future. The OpenStreetMap Foundation board will
meet on November 10th  to consider whether voting should start, possibly on
November 11th.  You can find more information about the implementation plan
at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Implementation_Plan.

In a nutshell, we are proposing shifting from CC-BY-SA, designed for
creative works only, to the Open Database License ("ODbL"), the first
license specially designed for open databases with "Share Alike" provisions.
The ODbL has been developed over two years by the Open Data Commons in close
cooperation with the Foundation.

You can compare summaries of the two licenses here:

 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/

 http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/summary/

We have tried to make everything clear in the proposal document but if you
have specific questions, we will monitor and respond to any discussion on
the osmf-talk mailing list. Any help translating some or all of the proposal
document into other languages will be greatly appreciated.


Regards,
Licence Working Group
OpenStreetMap Foundation
