So by citing my e-mail without a license, you made an infraction to my copyright,as you are actually republishing copyrighted work
May be we should consider your email (and this one too), as a derived work ? And I can sue you because, contrary to maps in dbase format that represent the real world (facts: ok there is no consensus about that yet) my words are copyrighted by default. There must be a limit to what can be considered a breach of intellectual property ! I must admit that at least your attributed my words !

The default condition is that your rights to your work of art, database (even in the case of the sui generis database rights) etc. are protected. If you want to allow somebody to use your work, you have to grant them the rights to do so, this is called a license. Even in the extreme case of essentially allowing everything to be done by anybody, you still have to state this. In the many countries that do not have an PD equivalent, this again boils down to a license. > > I believe that our data will be most beneficiary to the > people of this world if our license terms are minimized > (so PD). So do I, but that is a completely different discussion. The compromise between the PD and the viral share-a-like license fractions is the ODbL, trying to undo that will -not- result in a PD OSM database.
