While not necessarily beneficial for future new OSM, it could be
beneficial to any forks if they could be convinced to licence under the
CC-BY licence they use for other data.  In theory it should be a simple
task for them to grant rights under a licence they already use in their
department.

Do we have anyone here (JS?) who has experience writing to these groups
asking for permission?  Im sure Ive seen template letters thrown around
on here but cant remember who has been successful at it in the past.
