region, Ontario mappers: it appears the LWG has effectively approved all open data licenses in the region, including the respective cities, as compatible with OSM! 🎉

There's a ton of useful data now available, like cycling infrastructure, winter maintenance, playgrounds, sports facilities, all sorts of things. Automatic imports would still need approval, but manual mapping is 100% good to go now!

@jtracey *Waterloo referring to the region in Ontario Canada.
Not to be confused with Waterloo or Waterloo or Waterloo or Waterloo,.....

Screen grab of the open street map wiki: Waterloo This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article. Waterloo may refer to: Waterloo, a town in Brabant wallon, Wallonia, Belgium Kitchener-Waterloo, tightly coupled cities in Waterloo region, Ontario, Canada Waterloo, a city in Québec, Canada Waterloo, a city in Sierra Leone Waterloo, a suburb of London in England, United Kingdom Waterloo, a city in Illinois, United States Waterloo, a city in New York, United States Waterloo, a city in Wisconsin, United States

@thibaultmol Whoops, I usually mention Kitchener/Waterloo or some other context. Apologies to all the other Waterluvians around the world!

@jtracey Yeah! Looks like they haven't updated the approved licence page yet unfortunately, I'd be happy to share the approval email somewhere if that's wanted.

I also emailed the RoW GIS team to hopefully improve their licensing on the open data portal(s), since many items don't have explicit licences tagged. Haven't heard back yet, but hopefully soon!
