Has anyone given much thought to how this works for the sui generis database right of the European Union?
Certainly the EU hasn't, the whole database right is written for a world where company X pays employees to gather data.
I am wondering (as others have wondered) where the "substantial investment" is?
Fair question. I'd say the substantial investment lies in operating the servers and generally rallying the community. I am certain that the number of man-days invested by OSMF in its entirety (i.e. all working groups, board, technical team etc.) is "substantial" compared even to the most prolific individual mapper. But then again these people would probably do what they do even if they were not the formal OSMF but just a bunch of hackers!
