They basically told me on the telephone and in the e-mail I posted above, that NLS is happy with the situation if the attribution is updated to reflect the current license. In the e-mail they also confirmed that my proposal for the new attribution is okay.

What I am wondering is how do the different anti-DRM clauses in ODbL and CC-BY influence this situation. The old NLS license had no anti-DRM clauses, so that was not a problem back then. If the attribution in osm.org/copyright page means that the users of OSM data for that country need to comply with both licenses, it should be fine, but IANAL.

If it is a hard requirement, I could ask NLS for a waiver to the anti-DRM clause using that waiver template, but I am not sure if they sign it. My understanding is that they would not like to do customer-specific custom licenses.

What also concerns me is that before I got the confirmation from NLS about the attribution issue, they attempted to justify the inclusion of NLS raster in the [editor-layer-index issue](/osmlab/editor-layer-index/issues/769) basically with a lay interpretation of something that is not a directly applicable law. If editor-layer-index is under control of believers in absurd legal theories, it is obviously bad, but probably not directly connected to this issue.
