Hi,

I do not quite understand what I'd have if I import OSM data into one table
and CC-BY 4.0 data into another table in the database. If the whole database
is then Adapted Material and under CC-BY but "not its individual contents",
does it mean that I can truncate OSM tables and deliver the database as
such? Or if I import CC-BY and OSM data into the same table can I do "delete
from table where source='OSM'" before delivering that as a CC-BY 4.0 database?
