Interesting post Peter, this has clarified something for me - please
correct me if I'm wrong.
With the new licence - any derivative work produced would require that
the data used to create it is distributed. Also, any derivative work
has to include two notices, 1) saying that it is using OSM data, and
2) giving notice that the data they used has been distributed (and
possibly where).
An example: Dogwalkers club have made a map of their local park using
OSM data that they found. They stick a "made with openstreetmap data"
on it and pass around their map - but it's not enough - they are
required to distribute this data back to the community on-line
somehow, and have to stick a further notice on the paper map to give
details about the availability of this data, to tell folks about it.
To clarify: a paper map, a derivative work does not have to be under
the ODL-database/new-osm licence - it can be quite heavily copyrighted
and commercial - but it *must* provide the data used to make it, and
it must provide notification that such data is available.
