Hi all

For custom scenery developers: You have to be careful you download 
recent OSM data under this new license and not using old one which can 
be still under CC-BY-SA license. It will take some time all "data 
centers" have updated their data. There are some regions where OSM lost 
some coverage because of the license change.

Anyway OSM is a great project and also all FlightGear scenery developers 
are invited to help to improve the map. From now on you can be sure that 
updates going to OSM are coming to FlightGear scenery sooner or later ...
