Comment from bxl-forever
Hi there!
I see you are citing the peeringdb.com website as reference for your changes.
May I kindly remind you that OSM contributors are reminded never to add data from any copyrighted sources.
The website you are using is very clear about this:
https://www.peeringdb.com/aup
"Except for Internet operational purposes approved by PeeringDB, no part of the PeeringDB data may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording, or otherwise, without prior permission of PeeringDB on behalf of the copyright holders. Any use of this material to target advertising or similar activities is explicitly forbidden and will be prosecuted. PeeringDB requests to be notified of any such activities or suspicions thereof. The PeeringDB data may not be passed on in bulk to any other person or organization unless approved by PeeringDB."It is not allowed to take any data from PeeringDB and use it into OpenStreetMap. I suggest you remove any information you may have copied from them.
Have a nice day.

I had a look at the details of some of your changes.
Adding the "source:website" tag might only be relevant if that website had actually been used to obtain the data put into the OSM database. In reality, our data was here before you added that source. Your contributions are complete nonsense, they only serve to put OSM in legal trouble!
I suggest you review all your previous edits one by one and remove the dubious links.

Comment from Flexpair
Dear bxl-forever,
thank you for your message, although I feel a little irritated by your tone ("complete nonsense" etc). I have already removed the three links that I added yesterday. Still I would like to clarify that I did not intend to break any of their or your rules. Also, I had not copied any content from PeeringDB to OSM. In my understanding a link is something different than copying data points. But I also understand that OSM is afraid of misunderstandings w.r.t where the content came from. By the way, at least one of the buildings on OSM that I edited had already links to operator websites. Have you inquired with them whether they approve their published information to be copied? Best regards
