[OSM-legal-talk] Checking if I understand correctly...

[Steve Bennett]

Hi,
  Is the following statement correct: "Under the new Contributor
Terms, you may only contribute to content to OSM that you own, or have
been given authority to license to the OSMF for future relicensing."

This is only slowly dawning on me. If this is correct, then we can no
longer do imports of CC-BY-SA data, unless the original provider
expressly gives open-ended relicensing permission: that is, simply
licensing it as CC-BY-SA and ODbL is not enough, we would need an
explicit statement that the content may be used under the new OSM
Contributor Terms.

Whee.
