Simon, Robert, That (see below) cannot be completely true then, as if it were, we could copy from Google as we like, as long as we do attribute.
I see no difference in re-publishing text, as in our email lists and the database, properly citing Google as source. You will probably say then that Google's license prohibits that use -even when attributing- and then I come back to my (much earlier) statement that licenses are there to restrict free use of data, not to allow. At the time the whole community jumped on my back ! (is that correct ?) stating that license are to allow proper use, not to prevent use. Anyway, if default IP right allows for citing when attributing, why do our users need to agree to a ODBL license ? Is there anything more that we like them to comply with ? >> There must be a limit to what can be considered a breach of intellectual >> property ! >True, and that's what CTs and a license are for! That is not enough for an answer !

There is no infringement if you state who owns the copyright over what you republish - the actual reason for creating copyright in the first place was to make sure proper attribution is given. > May be we should consider your email (and this one too), as a derived > work ? That it would be, AFAIK, yes. > There must be a limit to what can be considered a breach of intellectual > property ! True, and that's what CTs and a license are for! BTW, if you would want to change OSM to be PD, you probably would need to wipe the map clean and restart from scratch, as most contributors want an attribution to the project at least - and that's what's not guaranteed with current CC-BY-SA due to not applying for databases appropriately in some jurisdictions.
