Hi Andrés,

Personally I would have started this thread on OSM legal-talk 
<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk> to clear the license.

IANAL, but as far as I understand the LIBRE USO MX-license is due to the 
by-clause not compatible with ODbL. If this is true so you'd have to ask the 
data owner to release the data as ODbL, CC0 or without a license (public 
domain).

My understanding is that you do not comply with the by-clause unless you 
annotate every raw data point displayed or used in a derivate such as a 
rendered map. I.e. as the data is added to OSM the Mexican government will 
become "just another OSM contributor” and as a third party extract this data 
will will be annotated with “(C) OpenStreetMap contributors” rather than “(C) 
INEGI, MGN 2014 v6.2”.

Once again, IANAL and I might have gotten it all wrong, this is just how I’ve 
interpreted previous discussions on the topic.
