A reasonable argument would go a long way. Much further than out-of-context ambiguous soundbites. Of course, to really be 100% convinced it'd probably take a Supreme Court ruling, and that'd only 100% convince me with respect to the United States. And then, there's the equally ambiguous question of whether or not the ODbL *would* hold. If OSM is considered public domain in the United States, it's fairly unlikely ODbL is going to change that. Of course, I'll be watching the Derrick Coetzee/National Portrait Gallery situation closely to adjust my sense of that one.
