[OSM-legal-talk] importing ODBl data

[Mike Dupont]

Hi there,

I have a question about imports and the ODBl,

I see that some sources have decided to dual license the data
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue

But how can some third parties data be compatible when the CT says it
can change any time, surly they might be compatible with the current
instance of the license, but how can they be compatible with future
versions of the license when they are no known?

How can a contributor import any data and keep the data open to
license change? How can you keep any imports at all from people who
have not agreed to the CT directly?

thanks
mike
