It is important that OSM can continue to function and be useful in 
Wikipedia and other places. A somewhat paranoid policy is not all 
bad.

At the same time, it's important that we can experiment to find 
the limits of copyright. How can we find out if e.g. OA data can 
be legally reused and in what ways? What are the risks and how can 
we test them?  Perhaps we need to find ways outside of OSM for 
such experimentation? A copyright lab as a separate entity?
