The word in Spanish is more like "altered". It doesn't matter if we get a
100% equivalent. Because of law issues -unrelated to copyright- original
files directly from source cannot be shared. However, any transformation
-including file format- gives full copyrights to the author of the
alteration, which effectively makes them "almost PD+attribution".

Law is strange, I agree :-)

He definitely can share the .osm.
