On IRC this morning, jongleur points out that OpenStreetMap no longer uses CC-by-SA; their data is now licensed under ODbL. There's a lengthy explanation of the rationale for the change here: http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License
Currently the labs Terms of Use says " all content must be freely licensable under an applicable creative commons license." That seems to exclude OSM data, which surely is not our intent. I note that the item just before that (about software licenses) uses a more expansive term, " OSI-approved open source licenses." Is there a similar umbrella term that we can use for content that would include CC-like licenses without restricting users to actual, literal CC licensing?
