the ODbL is the only example i know of.
That's certainly a reason to be wary of it.
not really. it's on the cutting edge, but that's because we're trying
to do something that no-one else has done before: an attribution,
share-alike license for factual data.
You don't think one should be wary of the cutting edge? If no one
else has done it before, there's probably a reason for that.
Yes, the reason is that nobody has ever made an open database of so many
hand-collected small facts about the real work yet, OSM is a pioneer
there and therefore needs new solutions that haven't existed before.
As Matt noted, there's a growing legal opinion that our current data is
in fact in the PD, as the CC-BY-SA can't be legally applied to it. Is
that the state you want to have in the future?
