</div>indeed. this is kind of the point: the US and some other jurisdictions<br>
don't yet have a database rights law, so to enforce similar<br>
restrictions to CC BY-SA it's necessary to use some other method.<br></blockquote><div><br>Okay, well, that's my point.

<br>I live in the United States. I can do whatever the heck I want with the OSM database. Now you want me to agree to a contract limiting those rights. So I'll ask again: What's in it for me?<br></div></div>
