>1) I am in the camp of those who don't care as long as the data is open and free. (You can see my reasons on the wiki page when I ran for the foundation). >2) I don't believe that CC-BY-SA would protect the project legally
>Regarding 1), I am pragmatist, and people initially have chosen a share alike licence and therefore it would be very difficult to switch to a PD or an attribution licence. In any case, I >don't particularly care but I will respect the spirit of the initial licence (i.e. SA). >Emilie Laffray I agree, and i want to add: 3) I don't care if anybody copies our data for any reason, because any other company will do the same, and possibly we will ourselves. 4) I am a pragmatist (and to some extend anarchist ;<)) in that we are not able and not willing to challenge any data theft in court. 5) Any license choosen conflicts with the OPEN & FREE concept, the basis of OSM , and the most important reason why it became successful.
