Data Access

[cutty]

Hi Cutty,

I can understand your frustration because of the many requests. However, I took care to read the publications of this thread (and I am not excellent in English, I am French). And I find that my situation is a little different.

For me, I will say that I have the right because the access will be in an open access part of my application (the rest of the content is paid) and I will not sell the data. But I have not seen a ban or permission to directly integrate your new vector map. I saw that it was allowed to use the raw data to make its own maps but is it the same for the Blitortung vector map already available?

I know that you receive many messages but believe me that I searched in what exists to find answers. It's not about malevolence, but I just want to do things right to comply with the politicy of this great project.

And I will soon invest in a red system.

I Understand..  However, I'd suggest that, barring any specific direct permission from Egon, who 'Owns' Blitzortung:

• The project may not represent commercial interests.
  
• It must be of general interest for the participants of Blitzortung.org.
  
• It must be different from existing projects. Do not just re-implement other projects. Do not setup yet another visualization of online data.
  
• All applications that use our data must be freely accessible.
  
• The source of the data must be clearly identified.
  
• The operator must prevent any possible misuse of the data provided, as far as this is possible.
  

The applications (web sites, apps, ...) have to retrieve their data from a separate server and not from the servers of Blitzortung.org. All data remain under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 licens

And, for the Vector map specifically, any OpenStreetMap restrictions:


Additionally, both LMO and BT depend on the minuscule Ad revenue to help defray costs of operation.

Why not simply add a direct LINK to the vector maps pages into your app?
