<br>
One OSM member initially received the response:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution/New_South_Wales_Government_Data#Cleary.27s_Letter" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution/New_South_Wales_Government_Data#Cleary.27s_Letter</a><br>

I then followed up about some ambiguous sections of the text and<br>
received this response:<br>

<br>
Would this be sufficiently legally binding and legally solid to allow<br>
us to include their CC BY 3.0 AU licensed data, derivative data and<br>
information derived from their imagery within OSM?<br>
