Fence sitter or not, Ulf has raised a point which has not been answered till now. More importantly, mappers like me who contribute everyday and are not part of OSMF have no clue about what this is. Now that this discussion is so openly in the talk forum, I think an answer is in order. One liner jibes aimed at Ulf and Frederick are not helping things. Just pointing us to the Wiki page may not be enough because most people (like me) wont understand complicated copyright laws and will make neither head nor tail of a technical discussion.
