The additional terms are "a bit of" a problem, however might be
surmountable if they are willing to give us a statement specifically for
the inclusion in OSM (along the lines of that they agree that the
inclusion of the data in OpenStreetMap and distribution on terms of an
open and free licence fulfils the conditions).
All variants of the OGL have a further issue in that you actually have
to verify that the Licensor has the necessary rights to licence -all-
the material in their dataset to you on these terms. This might seem
like a theoretical hurdle invented by me, alas it is not, as some of our
UK colleagues can testify.
