[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) Is the map data federated? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SoaringDE@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago It's a central server i believe. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Knusper@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago* Well, it's dumb data, so we don't speak of federation (which happens between services), but basically yes. Anyone can download the data and the TL;DR for your right to using the data is: You are free to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt our data, as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors. As a result, there are also many servers which mirror the data, i.e. provide a separate copy you can download, which is effectively like federation. permalink fedilink source parent
