What are the licenses of data used by OQT?

[matthiasschaub]

For the end user it should be clear what the licenses are. E.g. the swagger documentation could point to them.

OSM

through ohsome API: https://ohsome.org/copyrights

NUTS

Could GADM and NUTS be replaced by admin boundaries from OSM? This would make handling licenses easier (https://osm-boundaries.com/)

[matthiasschaub]

License notices should be added to https://ohsome.org/copyrights That is where the API response links to.
