and

2009-Jul-24 brian_252 sent an email to introduce them to OpenStreetMap. I asked if the Agreement was compatible with the Creative Commons license and if they would grant a special license.

Good afternoon Brian,

My name is Michael Smith. I am the GIS database manager for Alexandria. The City of Alexandria's GIS data agreement is quite robust and will allow you to redistribute the data basically on two provisions:

1. You can not profit from redistribution

2. You accept the data "as is" and Alexandria cannot be held liable for any of the contents on the DVD.

Other than that, you may use the data as you wish. There is not a need for special license. If you have any additional questions or concerns please contact me and I'll try to answer them or put you in touch our GIS Division Chief.

Thank you, Mike

Sent another email, making sure they understand we intend to redistribute the data and to ask if they agree to the CC-SA license. Also mentioned that we're getting DC data.
