OpenStreetMap anditalian Public Administration

… some stories ...

The relationship with the public administration

The italian case of the license “Ad Simonem”

Allow me to import your data in OpenStreetMap with a special authorization

In most the cases these administrations don't distribute their data as open data

Some consequences

Portale Cartografico Nazionale(some false statements)

you are selling data on eBay!!!our server is under attack!!!
