Hi James,

I'm not a legal expert, but I think that OSM would have trouble with
some of the licence terms, such as

Yes, the Ottawa terms are pretty clearly incompatible with

granting permission for, and we should also make sure that they realize
the license they currently have is non-open and a problem.
