[OSM-legal-talk] Waiving attribution illegal in any country/-ies?

[Niklas Cholmkvist]

Hi,

Previously I've been wanting a Public Domain("PD") map multilicensed
under various PD licenses like CC0, WTFPL etc...but is this even
possible? (waiving attribution requirement)

From my little knowledge... in Australia you can't waive the
"attribution right". 
Hypothetically if there was a global PD project and alongside everyone
else, some Australians joined the project, would everybody else in all
other countries have to attribute Australians(by using the planet dump)?
(I think and hope not)

or is it just Australians that are at a disadvantage who have to
attribute (to the best of their ability) the foreign to them
contributors of all other countries?

Regards,
Niklas
