[OSM-legal-talk] What extra permissions are needed to include CC-BY data in OSM

[Simon Poole]

Just as a clarification, versions of CC-by prior to 4.0 do not have this
issue, however do not address the issue of database rights at all.

All of the CC-BY licences -do- have the further issue, just as the ODbL,
that they do not allow sub-licensing (which I consider a defect),
however that aspect does not seem to be very high on the priority list
of anybody.
