the last time I read the CTs (which have several versions), there was a
clear reference to me having the rights to the data and perpetually
licensing those rights to another organisation
That would stop me signing up whether I used Yahoo! or Bing or NearMap.
Indeed it would put a query on a lot of stuff I obtained by sending out
GPS devices with random others to collect tracks.

Ben, thanks for the offer, but worded as it is I still don't find that
compatible with OSMF's terms and conditions.
