Ordnance Survey has explicitly considered any licensing conflict between
their license and ODbL and "has no objections to geodata derived in part
from OS OpenData being released under the Open Database License 1.0."
As I understand it the objection was not so much whether the data can be
distributed under the ODbL but whether the contributor terms (which under
some
reasonable interpretations allow OSMF to distribute under a different
licence
in future) are compatible.
You have previously given your personal interpretation of the CTs, which
is that
a contributor need only assert that data is compatible with the *current*
licence
terms (and so might be incompatible with some putative future licence).
Will
there be official confirmation from OSMF backing up this interpretation?
This was discussed at the LWG meeting 21 June [1], and draft wording was
proposed. I assume that this will at some stage be formalised, maybe even
at tonight's LWG meeting?

If not, is there a means for people to click 'I accept the CTs, subject to
the
interpretation posted on the talk-gb mailing list'?
