Doesn't our use license include a hold-harmless clause? If not, why not? 
Not that there's much in the way of assets anyway.

It seems already that public entities are interested in OSM. If we can keep 
those from being purely one-way forks, and manage to keep vandalism 
(intentional or not) at bay, there is certainly the potential to have 
extremely accurate maps of things (like hydrants, exits, extinguishers) 
that may not exist anywhere else. I'd certainly find that welcome in a 
bullding that's on fire.
