Hi Skyler,  nice to hear form you.  We would very much like the SAM address=
 points to be included in Open Street Map.  The permitted use of the points=
 is quite simple.  You may use the points for any lawful purpose.  While we=
 do our best to maintain a comprehensive and accurate set of address points=
 with our limited resources we know it has shortcomings.  See the metadata =
for the liability disclaimer.

We generally post quarterly updates to the data set.

Hello Mr Winters,

Thank you for your part in making the GIS data for New York State available=
 to the public through the Clearing House project!

I am a contributor to the OpenStreetMap project [1], a collaborative open p=
roject to create a global geodata set freely usable by anyone [2].

We respect the IP rights of others and I write to ask if we can use this da=
ta. There does not appear to be any explicit information about the license =
under which the data sets in the Cleaning House web site are distributed. I=
t's unclear what the terms are for its use, and specifically whether or not=
 it is public domain, and if it is permitted to import into the OpenStreetM=
ap project and redistribute to the world under an open license.

At the most simple, I would seek a statement like this:

"The New York State GIS Program Office [or the relevant NYS department(s)] =
has no objections to geodata derived in part from the GIS Clearing House da=
ta sets being incorporated into the OpenStreetMap project geodata database =
and released under a free and open license" [1]

I also ask that whatever statement you are prepared to make can be made pub=
lic for information purposes.

Below is a fact sheet. If you would like any more information, I will do my=
 best to help or can ask our project's License Working Group to get in touc=
h with you.

Regards,
Skyler Hawthorne

Fact Sheet

[1] The OpenStreetMap project currently has over 750,000 registered contrib=
utors worldwide. Our main website is https://www.openstreetmap.org

[2] We are mandated to make our geodata available in perpetuity under a fre=
e and open licence. We are not allowed to use a commercial license, but com=
mercial organisations are allowed to use our data under similar terms.

[3] Our data is currently published under the Open Database License 1.0, ht=
tps://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=3D76761582-2a4eb33f-7674ecb7-000babd9fa=
3f-f71edf933744da0d&q=3D1&e=3D391ef603-5912-439f-b6e4-b8ac749598bd&u=3Dhttp=
%3A%2F%2Fwww.opendatacommons.org%2Flicenses%2Fodbl%2F

[4] Most of our geodata is contributed by individuals. However, we are very=
 grateful when able to incorporate or derive from other geo-data datasets w=
here license terms are compatible.

[5] We formally attribute all such sources at https://wiki.openstreetmap.or=
g/wiki/Attribution, using any specific wording if you request. We also try =
to provide a link to this page with any extract of data from our database. =
However, for reasons of practicality, we do not require end-users to repeat=
 such attribution since it runs into hundreds.

[6] We also keep a public track of third party data use at https://wiki.ope=
nstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue and usually have a project page for ea=
ch dataset, describing how we use it and whether there are any license rest=
rictions to be aware of.

[7] If you have any specific legal questions, the OpenStreetMap Foundation'=
s License Working Group can be reached at legal@osmfoundation.org and will =
be glad to help.
