Some folks from Microsoft participated in a couple of License Working
Group telephone calls  earlier this year.  They had some specific
questions about using OpenStreetMap and the licenses.  You can find
their questions on the wiki under the community guidelines under
trivial transformations, metadata layers and indexing.

I'd like to see more feedback and participation from the community on
all of the community guidelines.
