I was aware of this and just wanted to get a consensus by the data creators: the users.
Looking at the opinion of the mass it shows me, that my approach of using OSM as a source of selecting the data doesn't seem to be fine. More of you are saying "share-alike", so I have to deal with this.

Like I sad before:
I would have been fine at attributing OpenStreetMap as selection. Now, I neither can use OSM data, nor add my dataset to yours.
A lose-lose-situation :-(

I think that is what Kathleen tried to explain, but got confused by others.
I'm sad that paying a lawyer is more expensive than paying for other datasets :-)

Matthias
