I am certainly not going to sue anybody. I consider my data PD anyway,
but even with ODbL in place and considering the best interests of the
project as a whole, for me it would be perfectly sufficient to be able
to say publicly that X is using OSM illegally. I would definitely oppose
any allocation of funds or effort to chase violators over and above that.
