Does that happen with the ODbL? It looks to me like once someone
creates a produced work I can take it and do what I want. Including
stripping the attribution and converting it back into osm format data.
You end up with two groups of people doing the same thing but with
different requirements depending on if they started with data from
openstreetmap.org or a produced work.

Wouldn't it have been better to remove ths 'viral' aspect altogether
if it can't be made to apply consistantly to all users of osm data?
