The post which I replied to did not contain a single question,

Your general question was whether OS data is interoperable with OdbL+CT 
(you asked whether somebody could "confirm" or "deny" that); in further 
posts you made it clear that you would find it "sad" and "hard to 
conceive" if it were not so.

I cannot confirm or deny your original question; but I wanted to say 
that it is in no way "sad" or "hard to conceive" if the license that OSM 
chooses is not compatible with a handful of government data licenses 
around the world. We are certainly not going to let the OS dictate the 
license we choose for our data.

Bye
Frederik
