Is there a source for this statement? I was under the assumption that in order to contribute data (whether your own or someone else's) into OSM, the data must comply with the contributor terms. Although the CTs agree to always give attribution, this (probably) still isn't compatible with the attribution required by CC-BY and the "provide a link to the license and indicate if changes were made" clauses of CC-BY. So my thinking is for data to be added to OSM under the current CTs it needs to waive these requirements of CC-BY and settle for attribution only (and perhaps a specific form of attribution). > As you point out though this data is upto 8 years old and in many cases > there is probably better or more current data available eg Tasmanian Estate > Reserve. > CAPAD is seems pretty good, http://www.environment.gov.au/fed/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B4448CACD-9DA8-43D1-A48F-48149FD5FCFD%7D
