Questions: Is CC-BY-4.0 compatible with OSM current license (ODbl)? If
data is released under CC-BY-4.0: can we import it to OSM?
To my understanding not even ODbL would be suitable for import into OSM.
To be suitable for OSM it must conform with the contributor terms
which allow a future license change.
That applies to data added by individual contributors, but the OSMF can
allow imports under other terms.
See the preamble to
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms
I imagine there would probably be no clash with our principles in the
case of CC-BY so long as the copyright owner was happy with our system
for attribution.
BY-SA 4.0 looks like it clashes with the ODbl due to its coverage of
Copyright-like Rights.
Agreed. CC-BY is probably compatible but CC-BY-SA definitely isn't as it
restricts the license for produced works more than ODbL does (to ones
that are like BY-SA).
Is it possible to have a BY-SA 4.0 Produced Work?
It's possible to give a produced work derived from OSM any license you
like (if that's what you mean?) so long as it retains OSM's attribution.
Including all rights reserved. Which is exactly why BY-SA data can't
be imported or used in OSM.
HTH, Jonathan
