I guess that is the core of Simon's argument - he fears that in some kind of doomsday scenario you would be stranded with only the derived product and no access to the real thing, that's why he wants the derived product accessible. I guess the easiest way would then be to leave this to the user: *Either* make your derived product so accessible that someone can somehow extract data from it, *or* ship the original OSM data from which you made your derived product alongside the derived product - whatever is easier for you. (Still an unnecessary complication in my eyes as I could easily construct scenarios where this would force someone to produce and ship an extra DVD... this whole discussion is, once again, getting into the negative, with us discussing all sorts of evil uses that have to be safeguarded against by implementing measures that will be a burden to everyone, evil or not evil.)
