AGIS GIS office of the Canton Aargau Mailinglist discussion here and here, forum thread. Note: we now can use vector data derived from aerial imagery purchased from AGIS, see correspondance with AGIS for the terms. In general AGIS has fairly liberal terms, none the less we need to clarifiy usage on a per-dataset level.
Canton de Fribourg Wide range of data, including buildings and addresses. Contacted in Feb2014. The use under OSM-licence would not be a problem, if we buy the data. Costs: 50 kCHF yearly, or 200kCHF once. They do not see any chance of getting the data free, unless there will be some action on the political level.
