Adding Shapefile of National Cycling Routes in Germany
Posted by henri_n on 11 August 2022 in English.Representing the federal government of traffic I would like to upload the 12 Routes of national cycling routes, representing the Cycle Network Germany. All data ist quality checked and free to use (Data licence Germany – attribution – version 2.0)
Looking for a contact to provide a boost for OpenCycleMap and OSM in general

Unfortunately, “Data license Germany – attribution – version 2.0” seems to me not being compatible with OSM.
We cannot place the source of every contribution/data on every derived OSM map. OSM is primarily a Data Base. Rendering maps using the data is a second, independent step which can be performed by anyone (also outside the OSM ecosystem, commercial purpose).
What we can do is, putting a note on our “Contributors page”.
I would like to ask you:
for a “go”, i.e. it is OK to put the “attribution” only on the “Contributors page” - if possible
to discuss this in a wider audience, the German forum

Ähm, sorry I forgot the say: “Thanks for the offer!” I think we will find a way to make use of it.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I am looking forward to contribute offical data.
Representing a governmental source, which is one of many contributors in OSM, it will be fine if the attributes will display the name of the source for further information or direkt contact. Even contributors page will be enough. It will be checked if adjusting the liscence is possible
This topic will move to the german forum (https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=76172)
For ony further questions I am more than happy to get in touch.
