[OSM-legal-talk] ODbL: Defining Substantial in OSM's Context

[Lauri Hahne]

I think the problem here is that our own definition of substantial is
by no means binding. The definition of substantial in ODbL comes
pretty straight from EU's database directive and the definition is
ultimately up to courts to decide.
