I don't see a problem - the CC license the data is under only requires attribution, it doesn't restrict what the license of the derivative work is. And as OSM is looking for a license that (and I quote) "needs to give our database the same three basic licensing elements (freely copiable; share-alike; attribution required) as it has at present" there's little worry of OSM becoming incompatible. At least, the matter shouldn't delay inquiries :) - James _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
