IMHO, section 4 is useless unless there is some kind of clause stating
what will happen if the license changes in future.

And the CYA statement in section 1 is far too vague to be of any use either.

You either need to do things like OS and Nearmap via a seperate
agreement/policy which covers future relicensing, or the CTs need to
be altered to state that attribution will be a license requirement for
any future license changes, or the CTs need to state any incompatible
data will be removed, rather than 'may' be removed.
