Though my concern is not mainly about the requirement itself, it is simply that the concept of a collective database seems to be incompatible with the current text of CC by 4.0. Now I know how I would weasel myself out of this if I was CC, but I'm not, so lets see what they say.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] What extra permissions are needed to include CC-BY data in OSM
Apologies for the delay in my response. Any sucess/feedback? Not from their general inquiry address; I've put another line in via a shared contact. I've been meaning to ask if you could clarify a bit further, and/or correct my understanding of the situation. You wrote: The actual requirement is in 4(c): You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database. which is a bit more than just 3(a)1, 3(a) also includes subsections 2, 3 and 4. My message discussed 2; 3 and 4 reads as follows: If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with this Public License. the extent reasonably practicable sounds to me like it could be satisfied by editing http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors. 3(a)(4) is a pass-through of the attribution requirement, but the flexibility afforded in 3(a)(2) means that OSM's current practices should accommodate it. Nope.

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] What extra permissions are needed to include CC-BY data in OSM
Just as a clarification, versions of CC-by prior to 4.0 do not have this issue, however do not address the issue of database rights at all. All of the CC-BY licences -do- have the further issue, just as the ODbL, that they do not allow sub-licensing (which I consider a defect), however that aspect does not seem to be very high on the priority list of anybody.

Hi, I do not quite understand what I'd have if I import OSM data into one table and CC-BY 4.0 data into another table in the database. If the whole database is then Adapted Material and under CC-BY but not its individual contents, does it mean that I can truncate OSM tables and deliver the database as such? Or if I import CC-BY and OSM data into the same table can I do delete from table where source='OSM' before delivering that as a CC-BY 4.0 database? -Jukka Rahkonen- ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

My, very conservative, reading of CC-BY 4.0 would indicate that it has additional issues over just the attribution problem for databases. CC-BY 4.0 contains the following (4.b): if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and Adapted Material is essentially a derivative Work, or using ODbL terms a derivative database. The CC-BY terms would however seem to make it impossible to create an ODbL collective database from an OSM dataset including CC-BY material. I think things are getting a little mixed up. The ODbL refers to Derivative Databases and Produced Works but not Derivative Works (well, except one, but I think that line exists because of poor drafting, not a deliberate choice). I *think* you are gesturing toward Produced Works and how the full ODbL does not attach to them, and conflating this idea with CC-BY's Adapted Material. ODbL Produced Works lose license restrictions; CC-BY Adapted Material may gain them. Perhaps this contrast is confusing the situation? Deeming something to be CC-BY Adapted Material gives the creator *more* control over its license status, not less, because CC-BY is not designed with virality in mind. This is implicitly affirmed in 3(a)(4), which mentions the application of other licenses to Adapted Material. The portion of the license following the and in your excerpt simply points to CC-BY's attribution requirements, which must follow the contributed content through into the Adapted Material. These attribution requirements are extremely generous: You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s3a1 in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the Licensed Material. I think the vast quantity of CC-BY licenses data is too important a resource to ignore given the slightness of this limitation, but I understand the need for conservatism.
