<b>Ongoing - Licence compatibility information:</b> Licences that the LWG has evaluated so far for data sources utilized for adding objects to OpenStreetMap or improving existing data. Please read the introduction and realise that determining if the licence is compatible is only a small part of the work that has to be done before a source can be used for OSM, particularly when you intend to directly import third party data you will need to follow the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines Import Guidelines]. The LWG published an evaluation of the [[CDLA_permissive_compatibility|"Linux Foundation CDLA Permissive"]] licence - thanks to Kathleen Lu for authoring the review.
<br><b>Ongoing - Update attribution guidance:</b> The guidance written in 2012 will be revised, as there are many technical changes (i.e. mobile phones’ screenspace is larger)
<br><b>Ongoing - Guidance on small static map images:</b> Discussion on providing clear guidance about whether we require attribution in static snippets.
<br><b>Ongoing - Information requests from law enforcement:</b> We will get guidance regarding information requests from law enforcement in UK.
