I'm going to update the page with some of the data imports that have been done 
in Australia, most of the ones from government sources being CC-BY (not -SA). 
As far as I'm aware the conditions of CC-BY should be met by being ODbL, so the 
licensing wouldn't be a problem, however I'm wondering about the 
contributor-terms bit.


If I recall correctly, there was discussion that bulk imports could be exempted 
from the contributor terms - for example AND isn't going to let us arbitrarily 
re-license their data, so we'd have to exempt that if we wanted to keep it. 
We're trading off the usefulness of the data for being beholden to the company 
if we want to re-license in the future.

How does a decision about whether the tradeoff is worth it, and hence gets 
exempted from the contributor terms, get made? Presumably AND data would get 
one, but my personal edits wouldn't be worth the tradeoff. We're getting more 
Australian government data coming along, so what should we be doing to either 
know that it can be exempted or that we shouldn't import it?
