[OSM-legal-talk] Data import and license compatibility

[Fernando Trebien]

Hello,

I'm trying to help a nice user who has interesting data ready to
import, but there's a potential problem: he already published the same
data elsewhere under a Creative Commons 2.5 BY-NC-ND license.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about licensing. Since he generated
the data himself, would it be legal to publish the same data under
OSM's ODbL?

There was one answer in the forum
(http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=340685) saying:

"If he owns the rights to the data, he is able to publish the data
under further licences.
CC and CT/ODbL are non-exclusive licences."

I just want to be extra sure that nothing has been overlooked. We
verified that the publisher did not impose any contract requiring
transfer of property rights, so I guess it is fine as long as we don't
take the published data and instead we take the data received directly
from the user. Even though the result would be exactly the same, any
attribution to the publisher would clearly be a mistake under any
perspective. Is this correct?
