[talk-au] Suburb boundaries

[Franc Carter]

While putting together an email for this I came across an issue.

Currently OSM is Creative Commons licensed which looks pretty compatible
with
their license (ignoring the practicalities of attribution). However the
license is being
discussed at the moment and may well soon change and/or split.

Should I wait until the license issue gets 'sorted' ?

cheers
