It's a share-alike licence with required attribution. CDLA I'd never heard of, but it seems like a "let's make the MIT license, but for data". Many VC-funded startups balk at the share-alike and attribution requirements of OSM, because they just want the free data and earn money from contributors' work. This looks like Overture can consume OSM data, but OSM can't use Overture's data easily. What a surprise. Stewart
