> What I'm not quite sure about are federal records such as FRA records (as I believe Oak Ridge data are). These would be covered under, say, a FOIA request, and so are quite similar to the same nexus argument as state records, only under federal law, not state law.
Generally, I have had very good experience with the National Labs and other Federal Agencies by simply emailing them, explaing what OSM is, with a link to the ODBL, and asking for a clarification. Depending on the data consortium ( government / academic / commercial ), this may or may not be possible. For instance Landscan ORNL is 'proprietary'. http://web.ornl.gov/sci/landscan/landscan_faq.shtml#10 Just a note dealing with projections: There is a great service at http://prj2epsg.org/search I just pasted the '.prj' information into a text file with a 'prj extension, uploaded it, and it gave me the equivalent ( or closest guess) EPSG code. Then assign that CRS to the layer in QGIS ( or other GIS software of choice). Michael Patrick
