GeoNames Forum

Dear GeoNames,

I'm building a plugin for Address Book (in Mac OS X) where the postal code is returned by the GeoNames API. As I don't control the interface (it's a plugin after all) I can't mention the GeoNames reference as stated in the Creative Conmmons License.

I included a NOTICE file with a reference to GeoNames (as one would do in the Apache license) and I will mention GeoNames on the download page for the plugin.

Would this be sufficient or would I break the license by not mentioning GeoNames in the interface?

Thanks!

Hi Cimm

Mentioning it in the readme and the download page is perfect.

Best

Marc

Thanks Marc!

I used GeoNames to build a postal code lookup plugin for the Mac OS X Address Book, called ZipCarton.
