Is it practical, from the legal point of view, to aim ODbL version 1.0
at the community?  The well-behaved get a license that tells them what
is allowed.  (Map t-shirts and cupcakes? Sure!)  This way the good
people in the community with commercial interests can proceed with some
reassurance.  The contributors can know that the license permits the use
cases we want and can get to their new contributions.  

The badly-behaved get the current "no reverse engineering" clause and
the derivative database share alike requirement with the existing
potential holes, and we shore it up with a community norms document?
