*Software* licenses, not data licenses. It's a software project. So we're fine with whichever license is applied to JOSM/rails_port/whatever since they are all* OSI approved. > 2.

Google (and GSoC) know who OSM are, we're a big enough community that we deal with such stuff all the time. I think we'll get accepted so long as an application gets submitted.
