What I meant to say was: under these contributor terms, OSM is not compatible
with itself!  Although the OSM project licenses its data under CC-BY-SA
or under ODbL, it would not accept such licences from others.

Whether this really matters, or is just an obscure point of principle, is open
to debate.  But it's certainly the case.
