Hello Rafael, cc-by may be compatible with the ODbL but when you create an OSM account you agree with the Contributor Terms:
"You hereby grant to OSMF a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable licence to do any act that is restricted by copyright, database right or any related right over anything within the Contents, whether in the original medium or any other. These rights explicitly include commercial use, and do not exclude any field of endeavour. These rights include, without limitation, the right to sub-license the work through multiple tiers of sub-licensees and to sue for any copyright violation directly connected with OSMF's rights under these terms." https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms The license of OpenStreetMap can change in the future. For example it's possible that the OSMF releases the database as CC0 which is cleary incompatible with any cc-by license.

People can remix BY-licensed databases and license them under the ODbL". ---------------------------------------------------------------- Profitieren Sie von der sicheren E-Mail-Übertragung Ihrer Daten mit einer kostenlosen E-Mail-Adresse der Telekom. www.t-online.de/email-kostenlos _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list Imports@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
