It should really be clear from the blog post, but just to clarify: the interpretation of the CC BY licences that we based our guidance on is CCs reading of the licence and the result of discussion with CC, not something that the LWG invented. Simon Am 16.09.2019 um 10:27 schrieb Andrew Harvey:

With regard to my ongoing issues with GCCC, the latest obstacle is because there are 2 online versions of CC BY 3.0 - they apparently say the same thing, but are formatted differently, which was enough to throw things into utter confusion :-( Their latest: "I need to engage our legal team to

I don't think OSMF will change this requirement, as the reasons for the waiver are detailed in the blog post Mateusz linked to, https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/ are pretty compelling. There had been some hope that CC BY 4.0 sources would be directly > compatible with
