To take this thread in completely different direction... I would like to see just a little bit of "official" legalese posted somewhere that I can point to when I go to contact someone about using data in OSM. Specifically I'm thinking about local/state governments that I have contacted and asked for permission or clarification on their licensing terms. As a new mapper I wasn't even really aware of all the implications of what I was asking about. It would be nice to have an "official" US specific page to point people to with a *brief* overview of licensing issues and such. It's great that OSM is a contributor driven project but sometimes people I'm interacting with have trouble understanding this concept and think I'm some legal representative of OSMF or something so having some kind of "So you've been contacted by a mapper. What does this mean?" page might be nice.
