Historically Geographical Name Register of NSW data[1] has been used
(and is still present) in OSM [2][3].

Based on the latest advice from the OSMF regarding CC BY 4.0[4] content
and OSM, the GNB of NSW has completed the waiver form uploaded to
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:NSW_GNB_170427_OpenStreetMap.pdf.
This should clear up any open licensing issues.

As such I've added the attribution requested from
http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/copyright in the OSM wiki at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Geographical_Name_Register_.28GNR.29_of_NSW
