Please cross-post any such explanation/links to legal-talk. I wish you luck on this, but after bad experiences trying to get any definitive information on why CC holds particular opinions during the Debian-CC working group, I don't hold out much hope of transparency from CC. It seems to be a self-perpetuating black box, common of so many US-originated foundations, with all the problems that involved. OSMF seems better than that, so I'm biased towards OSMF in any disagreement and I feel that most readers here should be too. If you're backing CC, do you know why? CC's licences are pretty good, but not as brilliant as the hype IMO. Maybe their advice will or won't work for the OSM. Keep an open mind. Related: shall we ask debian-legal about the osm-legal-talk thread? It would be good to have OSM data in debian and similar without problem.
