But SA mean that if somebody will use it the work where he is using
data should be CC licensed, so if somebody is not mapmaker but wants
to use e.g. prerendered piece of map, or live map somewhere the
website code should be licensed CC? What if he is using proprietary
website engine AND OSM map on it?
If somebody will print catalog of his products e.g. space ships
engines ;-) And want to use a map inside catalog will writhe there
that the MAP is from OSM and is licensed CC-BY-SA, but he don't want
to put PostScript files of the catalogue available, is it possible or
not?
