Intevation supports OpenStreetMap with free streetmap data

return to top of page

Intevation GmbH publishes the free Frida streetmap data of the town of Osnabrück under the new Open Database License (ODbL).

The OpenStreetMap initiative plans to switch to the Open Database License (ODbL) that was specifically designed to circumvent the licensing issues with the current Creative Commons license (CC-BY-SA-2.0) when using OpenStreetMap data. Intevation GmbH is committed to the new license in order to simplify the usage of the Frida data, so they are additionally licensed under this ODbL license.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free worldwide map created by users from all over the world. The created map can be used by everyone for every purpose under the terms of the CC-BY-SA-2.0 (and later ODbL) license.

In 2003 free streetmap data of Osnabrück ere created during the corporate project "Frida" between Intevation GmbH and the City of Osnabrück. The data were given to the OpenStreetMap initiative in 2007. The Frida data are still available on the project website, now licensed under GPLv3, CC-BY-SA-2.0 or ODbL license and can still be used as map of Osnabrück in OSM.
