I think that is a good idea. Just to clarify: * I use OSM data to create a printed A-Z map of London (which is clearly not a data base, is it?) * I publish that produced work under a BSD license * A competing project named FreeStreetMap traces all London roads off Yahoo imagery, then * FreeStreetMap activists copy every single street name from my BSD-licensed A-Z map into their BSD-licensed FSM database (the one with the noodly appendages) Before, the reverse engineering clause would have kicked in and forced FSM to be under ODBL. In the future, the above will be fully legal, and the resulting FSM database, which contains facts derived from OSM data but which were not in database form, can be distributed as a BSD product. This has been "earned" by FSM through the manual work involved in re-creating a database from a non-database. Ist that correct?
