[Imports] Mexico's Administrative Divisions Import Project 1

[Rafael Avila Coya]

Hi, Karl:

I am not a lawyer either, but this license is not CC-by, but an license
of the Mexican authorities. It asks only for attribution, something that
could be done adding it to the wiki, changesets and relations.

Cheers,

Rafael.

I.e. as the data is added to OSM the Mexican government will become "just another OSM contributor” and as a third party extract this data will will be annotated with “(C) OpenStreetMap contributors” rather than “(C) INEGI, MGN 2014 v6.2”.
