Hi Arch,
While interesting, I have never seen this point mentioned in any CC-BY
to OSM discussions and would, I think, preclude using any type of
license data but CC0.
When we get permission to include data in OSM, we do so under the
understanding OSM uses the ODbL and ask the people who have copyright to
the data to agree to ODbl terms, not some hypothetical future possible
license terms, which would be impossible.
Respectfully, this argument seems not applicable and reading pnorman's
links does not seem to be the basis for the current discussion.
Regards,
Blake

Hello Rafael,
cc-by may be compatible with the ODbL but when you create an OSM account you
agree with the Contributor Terms:
"You hereby grant to OSMF a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual,
irrevocable licence to do any act that is restricted by copyright, database right or any
related right over anything within the Contents, whether in the original medium or any
other. These rights explicitly include commercial use, and do not exclude any field of
endeavour. These rights include, without limitation, the right to sub-license the work
through multiple tiers of sub-licensees and to sue for any copyright violation directly
connected with OSMF's rights under these terms."
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms
The license of OpenStreetMap can change in the future. For example it's
possible that the OSMF releases the database as CC0 which is cleary
incompatible with any cc-by license.
Regards, Arch

Relatively to arguments that the CC-by 3.0 license is incompatible
with the ODbL, I add here an e-mail of Sarah Hinchliff Pearson, Senior
counsel of Creative Commons [1], where she answers this question quite
very clearly: "we do not think CC BY is incompatible with the ODbL.
People can remix BY-licensed databases and license them under the ODbL".
