[OSM-legal-talk] New phrase in section 2

I'm not assuming anything. 

But I believe it is fair to say that we (as in the larger OSM 
community) don't have an handle on imports in any respect. 

This is mainly due to a rather laisser faire approach in the 
past, and simply that getting correct and formal approval for 
an import is, both for the donor and the importer, a lot of 
work (and more so in the future with a rather complex 
license on the OSM side of things). 

Looking forward, I don't see anyway around a more strict
regime. Clearly that will put more burden on the OSMF and
make imports less attractive, but I can't say that that is a bad 
thing.
