I understand what you wrote but I doesn't match with the documentation nor the 
default text that mkgmap produces : 
"Map data (c) OpenStreetMap and its contributors
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

This map data is made available under the Open Database License:
http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/

"
Each line is not a new license. Or maybe you mean that we should separate 
licenses by an empty line ?

Yes, of course but my point is that the default text added by mkgmap should be 
something else than the mkgmap license.
