Of course, anyone is allowed to clone the database and make it editable in
respect of the license. But he cannot say it's the OpenStreetMap database. I
think it is a good point to say somehwere that local chapters can use the
name "OpenStreetMap" but cannot claim that "they are" an OpenStreetMap
dataset when it is a forked project. Probably the wording can be improved.
