ALOS Global Digital Surface Model "ALOS World 3D - 30m" (AW3D30)
Posted by BushmanK on 17 June 2016 in English.Since I didn’t find any references to AW3D30 digital surface model in OSM Wiki, I decided to create a new page for it.
Briefly speaking, since JAXA license requires attribution for derivative products, it doesn’t seem like it’s possible to use these data to update OSM database, but it’s still possible to mix AW3D30 data with OSM data in third-party products.

@d1g, please, don’t be like @Zverik - I’ve added a link to this review to the Wiki page back in the end of September.
