No, but as long as we can't even tell a company that might use maps in 
their books on whether those books will be under the CC_BY_SA or just 
the images etc., the viral nature hurts more then it helps.

We can't even tell them whether it's sufficient to print "(c) by OSM and 
contributors" or whether they have to add an appendix with 10000 names 
to each book. It causes unneccessary hassle and make the usage of that 
data more difficult if not impossible.
