... which ist not exactly the position that OSM is taking on this matter; in fact, with ODBL we go to great lengths to ensure that even if our facts should not be copyrightable we still get to say exactly under what conditions they are used through contract and database law. We're willing to enter completely uncharted waters and use a new and untested licensing framework precisely because we do *not* want our data to be free of any restrictions. So if you are looking for someone who takes the above position, best talk to one of the Science Commons guys!
