Let me get this straight - this would be the same sort of idea as an invariant section in a DFSG document? If so, there is a particular case that may be of note: incorporation of OSM data into large projects such as Debian. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Free_Software_Guidelines#Non-software_content and thence http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 . I would like to see OSM data incorporated as readily as possible, as needed, into projects like Debian. Right now, I don't support this. If changes are considered inappropriate at any point by the originators of the data, then OSM, which is by definition and tradition a ShareAlike, not-NoDerivs community is not the place to store such data. I would consider this sort of upload to be in direct contravention of our license, and delete it on sight. -- Andrew Chadwick
