This is allowed. > My question: where is the term that copyright notices must be preserved > done the chain of derived works? There is no such term for produced works. To achieve an attribution chain, we would have to have something that says "you may only release produced works under a license that enforces an attribution chain". Im glad we don't because I consider attribution chains to be evil. > Second issue, which is probably the flip side of the same coin: people > might be inclined to use works that use some sort of attribution license > and incorperate them into OSM (this almost certainly has already > happened, OS opendata, etc). The attribution must be included in any > derived works. We cannot import such data, even today, because we cannot make sure that the attribution is included in all derived works. So if you know of any such imports having taken place, they should be investigated and probably removed. We do have a wiki page where we provide general attribution along the lines of "parts of OSM include data from X, Y, Z; thank you for that". But there is no rule, now or under ODbL, that requires people somehow incorporate that into their works.
