[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v1] Change license text to ODbL

Tue Jan 1 16:46:17 GMT 2013

Hi,

attached patch changes the default license text to ODbL. Anyhow I am not 
sure if the text is correct. The new license text would be:

    Map data (c) OpenStreetMap and contributors
    http://www.openstreetmap.org/

    This map data is made available under the Open Database License:
    http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/.
    Any rights in individual contents of the database are licensed
    under the Database Contents License:
    http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/dbcl/1.0/

Comments are welcome.
