We currently have "a bit of a mess" wrt how we manage external data
sources and imports. Currently each source should have:
- a wiki page with the details
- in the case of an import a dedicated user account
- an entry in the import catalogue
- if attribution is necessary outside of changeset tags an entry on
- http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors
or if a "major" source, an entry on
- http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright
Everybody who was involved with the nitty gritty details of the licence
change has probably realized that the above documentation is woefully
incomplete and that the lists are becoming unmanageably large. And from
an attribution pov the decision on which page the source lands is rather
arbitrary.
I've done some thinking about replacing some of the above with a
database based solution that would make some aspects easier (by for
example generating attribution lists automatically) and will probably
whip up a prototype when I get back home from vacation if nobody beats
me to it.
For now I would suggest simply completing the existing lists.

There is also a need for other changes.
In Italy we have many contributions from some PAs
- ISTAT National Institute of Statistics (Italy)
- Satellite Images from Portale Cartografico Nazionale
- Regione Emilia-Romagna
- Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia
- Regione Piemonte
- Regione Veneto
- Provincia Autonoma di Trento
- Comune di Merano

Hello all,
If you go to:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright
you might notice a slight difference. :)
OSM data downloaded after 9am today is now licensed under the Open Database
Licence. The first ODbL-licensed planet.osm file is currently being
generated.
These pages summarise the main changes:
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/ODbL/License_Transition/Guidance_To_Data_Consumers
The main supporting documents on the wiki have been updated but translations
and some of the more obscure documents will need attention.
Our recommended attribution is now "© OpenStreetMap contributors" plus a
link to www.openstreetmap.org/copyright . That page then gives further
details of the ODbL and other relevant information.
cheers
Richard
