[OHM] OGL & OHM

[SK53]

Well I (and others) use OSM data for very good reasons: it would be a real
pain to have recreate it just to put it into OHM. The approach taken with
OSM was to check with OGL folk who's data was in use if they were happy
being credited as OpenStreetMap contributors (available as a page on the
wiki). OHM will undoubtedly run into issues with attribution, but in
practice so does any other project on an inter-connected web.

My general concern is that many prospective academic users would expect a
CC-BY-SA-NC licence.

I suspect that we need richer techniques for attribution over & above OSM;
less to meet source providers needs to make make the data acceptable to
consumers.
