"Us" would be every party that receives a copy of OSM, contributors or
non-contributors.  Under the proposed CT 1.2 (*), everyone who
receives a copy of OSM has the same rights.  OSMF doesn't have special
rights which the rest of "us" don't have.

(*) ...as I last read it.  There have in the past been changes made to
the CT 1.2 without incrementing the version number, so I have no idea
what it *currently* says.
