So my understanding now, from Francis' comment, is that CC-By-SA and CC-By are not compatible (you can't accept the CTs if you've contributed data obtained under those licenses, without infringing those licenses?), but ODbL for example might be compatible with CT although it's not compaitble with the current OSM's license. But it might be in the future. Is that correct? Is that also the intent of the CTs 1.2.4? I think it would be good to have a "human readable" form of this document written by its authors. I haven't read the CC-By-SA license "code" in this context but I'm reading in Francis' response that there's something in it that makes it not compatible.
