  or if a court decision says *exactly* that it is OK to copy stuff for
 OSM.

 how would you get that decision if you didn't use the material before?


You can always file for a declaratory judgment:

interesting, wouldn't it be a good idea to try this for deriving facts from 
google sat or street view? On the other hand this would maybe not work out for 
OSMF with their seat in London? In European jurisdiction with its database 
doctrine those will probably be protected also when deriving uncopyrightable 
facts
