Hi Anthony,

I guess the problem with continuing to allow CC distribution of the
data is that that would leave OSM unprotected in those jurisdictions
where CC isn't recognised for map data.
1) What jurisdictions would that be?
2) If the license isn't recognized, doesn't everything revert to "all
rights reserved"?
You're new to the project obviously. Welcome! If you're interested in
the background story to the license change, and why we consider CC
unsuitable, I recommend that you read the archives of the legal-talk
list (see http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk) as well as
the various Wiki articles (you'll notice the license change banner on
wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki right away).
If, thereafter, any questions remain, you can ask then on the legal-talk
list and I'm sure they will be promptly answered.
Bye
Frederik
