. Plus, if anyone went to court trying to enforce something that OSMF recommended that was outside the licence, they would lose, and perhaps be forced by the court to pay attorney's fees.

Maybe individual contributors might feel "scary" of the attorney fees, but probably not these contributors (some even shared under CC):

Would be interesting to hear from these agencies what their thoughts of the lack of attribution or different interpretation of ODbL. Probably not happy and would certainly arm OSMF reputation.
