## Can I use the OSM Vector Tiles for commercial purposes?
|
||||
|
||||
We want to push vector tiles and enable every developer to create great looking map applications.
|
||||
The workflow to produce MBTiles is MIT licensed which allows you to create your own vector tiles
|
||||
and use and sell them commercially. The vector tile data provided on the download page is licensed CC BY-SA.
|
||||
Because the data is from OpenStreetMap [you also need to credit OpenStreetMap](http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright)
|
||||
and add the attribution "© OpenStreetMap contributors".
|
||||
The project to create the vectortiles is under the [MIT license](https://tldrlegal.com/license/mit-license)
|
||||
and you are therefore free to take the workflow as you want and create your own vector tiles and
|
||||
use them commercially.
|
||||
The rendered vector tiles provided as download are under
|
||||
the [Open Database License](https://tldrlegal.com/license/odc-open-database-license-(odbl)) the same license [OpenStreetMap is using](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright).
|
||||
Because the data is derived from OpenStreetMap [you are required to credit OpenStreetMap](http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright) and add the attribution "© OpenStreetMap contributors" to your maps.
|
||||
We ourselves do **not** require any attribution for the rendered vector tiles.

## Can I use my custom Base Map in other GIS tools like QGIS or ArcGIS?

|

## Can I use my custom base map in other GIS tools? (QGIS, Esri, ...)
|
||||
The [recommended raster tile server](/docs/display-map-with-tileserver-mapnik/) supports other
|
||||
GIS clients and also supports WMTS. You can therefore use the rendered raster tiles
|
||||
from our vector tiles in QGIS, ArcGIS, uDig and also different web mapping libraries
|
||||
like Google Maps, Leaflet, Open Layers, MapBox JS and ArcGIS JavaScript API.
|
||||
|
||||
The Mapbox Vector Tile Specification is [planned to be implemented by Esri into ArgGIS](http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2015/07/20/vector-tiles-preview/).
|
||||
The Geometa Lab is working on a QGIS plugin to support vector tiles.
|
||||
Support for styling vector tiles in the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification is built
|
||||
into Mapbox Studio and Mapbox Studio Classic.
|
||||
Esri plans [to support vector tiles in ArcGIS](http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2015/07/20/vector-tiles-preview/) and the Geometa Lab is working on a QGIS plugin for supporting
|
||||
vector tiles. Map libraries like Mapbox GL JS and Open Layers also support
|
||||
rendering vector tiles on the client side.

## What is the future Roadmap of this Project?

Geometa Lab and Klokan Technologies are willing to support this project in the future and provide it with
|
||||
regular updates. The roadmap is public and we welcome you to contribute
|
||||
on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/osm2vectortiles/osm2vectortiles/issues).
|
||||
|
||||
## What are the restrictions on using the CDN?
|
||||
|
||||
A [public and fast vector tile server](osm2vectortiles.tileserver.com/v1.json)
|
||||
is publicly available for everyone to use for free without any restrictions.
|
||||
|
||||
However if you create real application we ask you
|
||||
kindly to [create a free access key](http://maps.klokantech.com/)
|
||||
and use the vector tiles together with the access keys so we can guarantee the performance of the service.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is the difference from other Projects like Kartotherian or Mapzen Vector Tiles?
|
||||
|
||||
We are big fans of Kartotherian and Mapzen but believe not only the process to produce vector tiles
|
||||
should be open, but also the rendered data to make it really accessible for everyone to create
|
||||
their own maps.
|
||||
These projects provide public vector tile servers as well but do not provide any downloads.
|
||||
Additionally our projects has close compatibility to Mapbox Streets v5 and v6 which allows
|
||||
using the superior tooling from Mapbox for creating maps.
|
||||
We are looking forward to contribute back to projects like Kartotherian with our improved
|
||||
source project and mapping files.
|
||||
|
||||
## Who is behind this project?
|
||||
|
||||
The OSM2VectorTiles project started as a study project of Geometa Lab supported and made
|
||||
possible by Klokan Technologies. We are map enthusiasts who want to make OpenStreetMap
|
||||
accessible for everyone again.
