This page lists available and unavailable data sources.
If you are unsure of the availability of the data, check | Legal FAQ at first.
Unless the data is genuinely offered without any restrictions on use at all (i.e. public domain), please contact the Licensing Working Group for advice. Do not rely on your own legal interpretation of the licence. OSM is all about creating a freely and easily redistributable data set. Anything which taints the dataset or exposes OSM to possible legal action interferes with that objective.
