Hi Andre,
For the licensing part, you might want to get in contact with Henk Hoff
[1] (in cc). He is based in the Netherlands and a member of the OSM
Foundation Board and of the License Working Group, thus he should be
able to speak with an "official" voice.
As for the technical aspects: to my knowledge, there is no formal
transit group; de facto, this list is the main exchange for such topics.
Maybe some of the Dutch members on this list can take over. There is
also a Dutch mailing list [2], not specifically related to public
transport but may reach a larger number of Dutch users. Henk may also be
able to provide a pointer.
Good luck with your project - I am happy to see official public
transport data being opened up to OSM.
Michael

As an employee of the dutch 9292 company I can inform you that we like
to contact a Dutch leading member of the transit group in the
OpenStreetmap community to discuss our intentions to enable the
delivery of transit data within the complete boundary of the
Netherlands. This will take place under a license within openData
terms. We would like to discuss the license form and other delivery
requirements.
The purpose is to enable the content of public transit data as stops,
stations, lines and directions that are available on stops / stations,
and line schema. So that this data can be used to construct proper
linetopology as it is used in openbusmap.org <http://openbusmap.org>
and other OSM related products as OsmAnd. The data will be refreshed
on a regular base to ensure its validity.
Please respond with contact name, email and role within transit group
and OpenStreetmap group. We will then send an invitation to discuss
issues in person on our location in Utrecht.
Best Regards
A van Atten
