And I'm sorry to make you upset. Yes, there may be a language barrier 
and I may have misunderstood you. Sorry for that. For me, this read like 
you try to get some "special permission" to allow your customer to use 
OSM data without following the CC-BY-SA license.

What I tried to make clear is that the person, who broadcasts 
Openstreetmap data also has follow the license terms, you'll find on 
this page:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

One of your addresses:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Attribution_-_Guideline

says that attribution on an associated website would also be OK. In my 
opinion this isn't the nice way, as a short displaying of where the data 
came from would be much better for the project, but if someone decided 
that attribution an an associated website is also OK, then this is OK. 
But the broadcaster will have to place this attribution on *his* 
website. A website, anyone can bring in association with the TV broadcast.

I didn't know the specialities of the ODbL license. As far as I know, 
porting to this license is not finished, so data still ins CC-BY-SA 
licensed, only. Maybe someone else knows details about ODbL?

Sorry for that!
