I agree with Peter here, there is something that can make you think twice about importing ODbL licensed data: the CTs. You not only have to comply to ODbL, but also to the CTs. http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms/FR 3. OSMF agrees that it may only use or sub-license Your Contents as part of a database and only under the terms of one or more of the following licences: ODbL 1.0 for the database and DbCL 1.0 for the individual contents of the database; CC-BY-SA 2.0; or such other free and open licence (for example, http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/) as may from time to time be chosen by a vote of the OSMF membership and approved by at least a 2/3 majority vote of active contributors. -- or if you live in France it's this text: 3. OSMF consent à n’utiliser ou sous-licencier votre Contenu que comme partie de la base de données et seulement par le biais d’une ou des licences suivantes : ODbL 1.0 pour la base de données et DbCL 1.0 pour les contenus individuels de la base de données ; CC-BY-SA 2.0 ; ou toute autre licence libre et ouverte de même type (comme, par exemple, http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/) qui pourra être ponctuellement choisie par une majorité de 2/3 des contributeurs actifs parmi les membres d’OSMF. So basically you can only import data that is compatible with ODbL and/or cc-by-sa 2.0 and which can later be relicensed. According to the CTs it would seem as if you could also contribute cc-by-sa 2.0-only data, which is in my understanding not possible as long as osmf publishes the data as ODbL. cheers, Martin
