Mark,

Please first refer to your state public records laws to find out what is and isn't required regarding distribution of public records in your state. The City can demand a lot of things, but if it doesn't line up with state public records law, its meaningless. Many county and and municipal governments around the country place more restrictions on data than what state law allows, and its illegal - they just don't realize it because they haven't been called out on it.

I am a GIS professional working for the City of Indianapolis.  I was
interested in importing some of our GIS data into OSM, and I've
researched the requirements process.

Although the City of Indianapolis is giving away a lot of data for
free, their license agreement requires that any data derived from it
must acknowledge the City of Indianapolis.  (Partial screenshot
showing actual license is attached.)  From my understanding of the
Open Database License, this makes the Indianapolis data ineligible for
being imported into OSM.  Is this correct?
