For the current license, people seem to assume that attribution is 
cascading, i.e. you have to mention where you got the data from, and 
where they got their data from, and so on - cf. my question a few weeks 
ago on this list.

Rest seemed ok for me but then again I didn't see much participation on 
this list in the past months so maybe everybody's out mapping.
