Would it be appropriate to continue this conversation on legal-talk? Talk is very busy at the moment and we have a lovely list of our own :) With regard to these questions, lets make a clear distinction between the question (which anyone is qualified to raise) and the answer (for which one is likely to need to be a lawyer)! Possibly Ben is a lawyer, I am not sure, but in the past we have tended to form a legal opinion without ever asking a lawyer. My company is taking legal advice on the licence and will publish the conclusions to the community. We will use the Open Issues page (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Open_Issues ) as part of the input to our legal review. If you have questions then please ensure that they are mentioned on that page.
