This clashes with the legal advice giving to the Licensing Working Group in that OS OpenData's license _is_ compatible with ODbL and the Contributor Terms. Specifically section 4 of the Contributor Terms provides a mechanism for attribution. I have asked Robert if he could share the email with the LWG, it would be interesting to see the question asked and the full legal reasoning.
