Thank for clarifying Anthony.
I apologize for the mistake. Not the best way to start posting in this
forum. I'm actually aware that the current license is CC-BY-SA 2.0 and this
was an unfortunate copy/paste mistake.
I do believe that my original questions still stand, as both licenses have a
share-alike requirement. Of all the license requirements, that's the one
that concerns me most, as providing all of my business data under the CC-BY-SA
2.0 would not be viable. Here are some of the questions that pop to mind:
- If a commercial application complements OSM POI data with user-provided
data (example: display a OSM POI along with user-provided address, phone
number, etc.), is that considered altering, transforming, or building
upon OSM data? In that example, would I have to distribute my user-provided
data under the CC-BY-SA 2.0 license?
- What if I keep the OSM POI data in a separate database and only
reference it, would that make a difference?
- If I help the community by feeding some of my user-provided data back
to OSM, would that make a difference?
- If the OSM POI data is displayed together (i.e. in the same page or
same screen or same map, etc.) with data and POIs from other sources, does
the share-alike apply?
Thanks,
Joao

Hi,
I'm planning to develop an Android application that displays
OpenStreetMap
POIs near you and complements the OSM data with data coming from other
sources (address, phone numbers, user notes, etc.).
What are the license implications in doing that? Would I have to expose
the
combined data under the ODbL?
OSM is not currently licensed under the ODbL. It is licensed under
CC-BY-SA 2.0.
