Hi,

Please can we keep this to legal-talk to stop discussion fragmenting? Thanks.

Our maps are already available for inclusion in Wikipedia and it's  
inconceivable that this would change - see earlier posting to  
legal-talk. I think your posting is good evidence of a widespread  
truth: there is no way that OSM contributors would ever countenance a  
change that would stop Wikipedia using our maps.

If Wikipedia does change to CC-BY-SA, its Collective Work provision  
will certainly allow Wikipedia to continue using OSM maps, whether OSM  
uses CC-BY-SA, ODCL, public domain or whatever.

cheers
Richard
