The topic of licensing is an ongoing one, with some rather heated arguments occurring at LODLAM earlier this year. 

I still favour a 'with citation' license myself but due to the multitude of data sources that are available, I'm beginning to think that tag-level licensing might be a necessary feature of OHM.
