I made an enquiry to DNRM about this exactly back in June. The response I got was:
We have given consideration to your request and advise that, consistent with Queensland Government policy, our data is provided under a CC:BY 4.0 Licence. The department will not provide the data under an ODbl licence. It is our belief that a CC:BY licence is sufficient for use of our data and we do not accept that OpenStreetMap cannot use our data under the CC:BY licence. If you have any questions or I can be of any further assistance please feel free to contact me by any of the methods below. So in the end I didn't get the waiver form OSMF requires, yet DNRM believes we can use CC BY 4.0 data in OSM without it, in conflict with what the OSMF says. I don't feel this is good enough, but I'm not a lawyer so I left it at that. If anyone can help pick this up again, I feel we have a good chance of it happening. DNRM are very responsive to enquiries like this, which is great. On 1 Oct. 2017 4:50 pm, "Andrew Harvey" <[email protected]> wrote: Unfortunately not. CC BY 4.0 data isn't compatible with the OSM license, see https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/ for more details. There is a waiver form at that link which the copyright holder needs to agree and sign for CC BY 4.0 data to be used in OSM. Some Australian agencies have agreed to this, and others have explicitly not agreed to this, so it's hit and miss based on the agency.
