OSMF is located in the UK, right?  Doesn't the UK have laws which protect
organizations from "friverlous" lawsuits?  If not, the first step in
avoiding such a lawsuit would be to reincorporate in another state with sane
laws.  That would likely work much better than not ever doing anything,
because someone might potentially launch a frivolous lawsuit over anything.
The latter is exactly the "Pascal's Wager" style thinking that is holding
back OSM from reaching its potential.
