Wow.  Compared to other municipal / government licenses, this one
seems pretty "clueful".

I like 1.03.4 and 1.04.

       1.03    [ ... ] the User is hereby granted a
limited licence to [ ... ]   4. process, analyze or otherwise use
these Data in the development of new, derived works or value added
products.

and

       1.04    The User may sell, lease or sublicense the Data contained in new,
derived works or value added products

That all sounds good to me.  Anybody else care to offer an opinion?

The one issue which should be clarified with the data provider is
this.  They provide a copyright statement.  OSM would like to place
that on the wiki to meet their requirements.  Placing it on the data
is a bit arcane as only motivated / technical folks will find it, and
fragile, as others can change it.
