I think it's very important that if the data provider's terms are ok (which more or less means PD/CC0 for totally ok and ODbL for 95% ok), that we not ask them to do anything. Also, what we need is a copyright license, so that's not necessarily -- and hopefully isn't -- a contract. It seems obvious that asking a US entity to enter into a contract under foreign law (and the same is almost certainly true for any government entity in any other jurisdiction) is just not going to fly.
