[OSM-legal-talk] Factual Information License and Produced Works?

The ODbL says that one can release Produced Works under any license.  
The Factual Information License says that "You must include a copy of  
this Licence with the Work in a location reasonably calculated to make  
others aware of it."

Given that OSM data will always have content licensed using the  
Factual Information License then how can one create a Produced Work  
that doesn't include a copy of the FIL? There seems to be a bit of a  
lock-out between the two licenses.

The generally get the impression that the FIL has had less attention  
that the ODbL. It still talk about 'neighbouring rights' a phrase that  
was removed from ODbL, and there is no 'or later version of this  
license' clause.




Regards,



Peter
