I disagree with you there Steve. The problem is that *we're the guys building the engine*, and yet we don't know how the engine management system works. Whilst it doesn't need to be simple enough for *everyone* to understand (you can do the "I trust him and he knows what he's talking about" approach that you take with your car), when I can't get my head around how the license impacts the OpenCycleMap operations (am I running a collective or derived db? Do I need to release PostGIS dumps? Can I CC-BY-SA license the tiles?) then there is a complexity problem, and it probably needs more serious addressing than dismissing it as "superfluous".
