[talk-au] M11 naming

[Brendan Barnes]

Unfortunately the Major Road Projects Victoria website is not compatible
with the ODbL, as "no part may be reproduced or used for any commercial
purposes whatsoever". The press release on their site has no other
licencing information, so we should treat it as copyright and not use it as
a source for OSM data.

The Engage Victoria website is CC BY 4.0 (State of Victoria (Department of
Premier and Cabinet)), but unfortunately we don't have a waiver for.

To ensure data in our database is sourced correctly, we need to collect
street naming from on-the-ground surveys, compatible imagery providers, and
any other compatible licence sources.
