I've posted a comment on Alex post, but I need to clarify a few things. The part were I also think ODbL may be a problem is regarding collaborating with government agencies where share-alike is required.
It is a pitty that these agencies cannot join OSM because of ODbL, not because they just want to use OSM data in a non open way but because their less restrictive licence is incompatible with ODbL. This is the point where something may be changed but I don't know how it could be done. Except that special case, ODbL allows a lot of things, and its share-alike requirement looks to me not as "less" open but as "always" open... which in fact is more open on the long term. -- Christian Quest - OpenStreetMap France Conférence "State Of The Map" France du 4 au 6 avril à Paris<http://openstreetmap.fr/sotmfr>
