[Osmf-talk] Translations of the ODBL

If we can provide translations at the same level of confidence as they can be found for the CC licence, this would solve the issue. It should just be a text that does not have to start with a disclaimer.

If a number of people state that the translation is accurate and that statement is also supported by the OSMF asking for a decision, that would be enough.
That support could be silent - a link to the translation and no disclaimers would be sufficient.
