That's fine. I'm always happy to help. You caught me at a weekend when
there was plenty of time to think about it.

I won't try and answer your questions about "distribution" because I
don't think add anything to what we already know _and_ because there's
some academic argument as to exactly what the "distribution right"
means. I don't think this is the place to rehearse those.

No body can be blamed for finding this difficult. Anyone trying to do
something radically new - and OSM is fairly radical - will often find
themselves caught by laws that weren't designed with them in mind.
Copyright law is not really designed to deal with crowd-sourced map
projects :-).
