[odc-discuss] Fwd: ODbL in German

Tue Jul 7 06:47:10 UTC 2009

the translation on the OSM Wiki looks good, no wonder that someone 
already did a german translation - with half the events in the calendar 
being regular meetings all over DE :)

BTW: When/how is the ODbL going to be applied to the OSM data?

greetings,
John
