    would seem to be the most complete version of "how we really would
    like you to release data to us".<br>
    <br>
    It is not really a surprise that OSM requires a special case, it is
    simply due to OSM actually being a special case and essentially
    being the only project that digests open data and produces such with
    the downstream end user very often multiple tiers away. Most other
    data consumers (the goog and so on) typically have complete. or at
    least tight. control over the end product and wont have issues with
    complicated attribution requirements and other restrictive terms. <br>
    <br>
    Outside of specific terms for OSM, currently, IMHO, organisations
    wanting to release data on open licence terms don't really have many
    good options. They will typically gyrate to CC by licences even
    though 2.0 and 3.0 don't really work for data (which is likely why 
    commercial users are such a fan of them) and 4.0 is a total rewrite
    which raises some questions with respect to use as a data licence
    that remain unanswered.<br>
    <br>
    If it was up to me I would suggest
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/">http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/</a> , however it is not
    clear if the authors are still interested at all in any of the O*
    licences.<br>

                          OpenStreetMap project to incorporate and use
                          the data under the project's terms. This is

                          <div>However, I would encourage you to
                            consider non-OSM users as well when choosing
                            the license. ODbL is not widely used outside
                            of OSM. A license like CC-BY 4.0 is more
                            widely used and actively maintained.
                            Choosing it would ensure compatibility with
                            a large number of non-OSM datasets. And if
                            paired with a permission statement like
                            what's described above, OSM could still use
