Just to clarify, the OSMF doesn't just requires the waiver because it is being difficult.

CC BY has fundamental issues that are widely ignored, the blog post is simply the diplomatic summary that we hammered out together with CC (it says so much in the text).

Hey John,

The Legal Eagles of the OSMF Licence Working Group continue to ask for explicit permission (ie waiver) for CC BY 4.0. The rationale is at https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/

You can reach them via their contact details at https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licensing_Working_Group for any clarifications, but it appears they have already assessed the wording in CC BY 4.0.

I know waivers can be difficult to obtain, and government entities may have internal red tape or few resources available to supply one to the OSM community. However it's in everyone's best interest, and once we have a waiver on file for the agencies' datasets, they are good to use indefinitely.

    Hi Guys,

    Had a look at this license
    https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en

    Do we really need a waiver from the data provider? something like
    this
    
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/1/17/AADC_CC-BY_Permission_JK_signed.pdf

    My feeling is that as long as we list the data provider on the
    contributor list, it should be fine.

    Regards,
    John
