I believe that both can be can be met in our attribution of the licensor 
on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution

"OpenStreetMap's utilization of this material does not imply any 
official status nor endorsement or approval by XXXX. You can find out 
more about XXXX and this material at http:\\xxxxxsite.dk"

A short description may also help as would be a link to a wiki project 
page describing the data and how we are using it.  I think the current 
attribution we give the UK Ordnance Survey would satisfy both requirements:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution#UK:_Ordnance_Survey_.28OpenData.E2.84.A2.29

I think this is a really nice license and hope it is more widely adopted 
by governmental agencies.
