Likewise.

So I wouldn't say that a turf war is brewing between CC and OSM.

Not remotely.

We're first interested in a maximally valuable commons, and OSM is an
exemplar of what is possible, so we're big fans -- as we were of Wikipedia
prior to their license migration to CC-BY-SA -- and would still be had they
not migrated. And the OSM people we've met have been great.

OKFN (which I believe sees ODC as one of its projects) and associated
individuals (Rufus, Jonathan, Jordan, et al) are doing great work, I enjoy
them personally, and I hope we have more turf cooperation going forward, if
turf must be involved.
