View source for ODBL non-compliance

This page has mostly been inspired from the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lacking_proper_attribution great work of OpenStreetMap community].

Please first check [[ODBL License]] to understand ODBL (non-)compliance.

== Process (suggestion) ==
# When you discover a license non-compliance, check first if the usage of Open Food Facts data is substantial. If the usage of Open Food Facts data is substantial, continue with the next steps. If you are not sure, ask other people on a suitable place: #license channel on slack, or contact@openfoodfacts.org.
# In fact, even if you are sure, you should definitely share your case with other people before.
# '''Add an entry''' to the bottom of the table below. If you are unsure about the non-compliance, discuss it on the one of our common communication channels (see above). If you are sure, you can report it on slack, at forum or a mailing list, too.
# '''Contact the publisher''' with a suitable [[ODBL non-compliance/Example_email|pleasant and non-threatening email]] and update the record with the date you've contacted them.
# Wait for a response for a suitable period. If that does not create the desired response then you should follow up with a '''second attempt''' to contact the publisher.
# If that does not work and the violation is '''considered serious''' then report it, if not done yet, at #license channel on slack or contact@openfoodfacts.org.

== Hints to contributors ==
Be gentle! We are a project for providing food transparency and not to argue with somebody about legal issues. It doesn't help anybody playing the police and collecting as much cases as possible. This could give Open Food Facts a bad image. Don't be too correct. If they give it their best then it is ok.

|Sometimes Open Food Facts data is not sourced because they reuse data from one of our reusers, eg. : https://www.digit-eyes.com/cgi-bin/digiteyes.cgi?upcCode=3039824000313&action=lookupUpc&go=Go%21
Sometimes Open Food Facts data is clearly sourced. We have to check if share-alike clause is respected: eg. https://www.digit-eyes.com/cgi-bin/digiteyes.cgi?upcCode=3048405000024&action=lookupUpc&go=Go%21

== Banning access? ==
When the people do not answer after one month, and the website or app is still not compliant with the ODBL or Creative Commons licences, it is possible to temporary ban access from the app or website. (See [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24105799/nginx-block-from-referrer/38891801#38891801 this example to allow banning from referrer].)

Banning should always be the last solution.
