I am starting to think that perhaps the license should be accompanied by 
a kind of "interpretation document" which may or may not be the same as 
this FAQ.

There are probably things that the license will never specify exactly, 
like the question of "where in this chain does that database cease to 
exist". As stated numerous times on this list, applying the EU 
definition of "database", even a PNG tile is a database...

So if we'd have a document clarifying these things for OSM - even if 
this might not be legally binding but just an expression of intent - 
that would be a much better basis for the individual mapper to actually 
say yes.

Bye
Frederik
