Share-Alike, aka copyleft, is not something made to forbid commercial 
uses. ("viral" is not very pleasant)


With copyleft and attribution, every company that use OSM data help the 
project by spreading our work and increasing OSM notoriety.
I have no problem with a company making lot of money from our work if 
they comply with the license.
