We can ask them about how the CC license applies to OSM and what they
consider constitutes a derived work and the like. But we can also ask
them about other licensing options for OSM - perhaps with a view to
creating a CC, or other such, license for geodata. This is a bit
vague I know. Basically we need to get all the pressing issues
surrounding OSM's license put into one document, rather than being
distributed accross the wiki/mailing list/peoples heads. I'll let you
know more details as I hear them.
