[OSM-legal-talk] License question, user clicking on map

[Alex Barth]

Rob - as long as you don't mix ODbL data and other data in the same
database, ODbL's share alike cause doesn't kick in. So using the OSM tiles
on your web site doesn't mean that data in your web site is affected. I
recommend reading the ODbL, it's pretty clear that way
http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/

(And yes, I know, an open license shouldn't be that long and that
complicated, but that's another story).
