Me, and yes, exactly. I would always distribute my end-result maps under 
share-alike because I want others to be able to build on my work, and to me 
it's very arbitrary and harmful to distinguish between the nodes+ways+areas 
data and the maps that get produced. Even the technical inability of people 
to amend my ethical maps of Reading is frustrating from that point of view.

Tom
