Just wanted to highlight from the FAQ:
Who owns the map's data?
Wheelmap is based largely on the free world map OpenStreetMap which stores all the data. The data sets are published under the Open Database License (ODbL) and are available to everyone and can be used free of charge. On the service https://www.accessibility.cloud/ https://www.accessibility.cloud/ , which is the technical backend of Wheelmap.org, more data is shown, provided by partners with varying licences. Sozialhelden e.V. merely incorporates this data into the map.
It's really good to see a project like this open up it's data for sharing and re-use.

- jarofgreen 6y agoMany community mapping projects have a big button saying "Add information" - like this one does - but not many make sure the data goes somewhere Open. So credit to the creators.
- matkoniecz 6y agoAnd if someone want to contribute to OpenStreetMap then https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete is likely a good fit (if you are interested in wheechair quests - you need to enable them in settings)
