Such a statement would invite everyone to use our data freely and 
without attribution or license care as it basically says "the 
organization governing the product/data doesn't care anyhow".

If our data was PD, that would be OK, but as it isn't and won't be, OSMF 
needs to care as it is the governing body behind the project.
