Can you give an example of ODBL compatible source incompatible
with contributor terms?

How this may even happen?

How this should be checked?

> As you are no doubt aware, OSM requires that data imports be listed on the OSM Wiki ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue ), including if the source is “ODbL OK status”.

> At the Nov. 2022 OSMF Board meeting (25 Nov), the Board voted that imports should, from now on, list whether the data source is compatibly (or incompatible) with the OSM Contributor Terms¹.

> The Board has also budgeted to commission a template that OSMers can use to request that data sources release their data under those terms. That will obv. follow later. However given that OSM is mostly volunteer run, I don't know if/when that will be ready for you.
