I disagree.  This license is not compatible with either CC-By-SA or
with ODbL as used in OSM.  There could be more problems with it too,
but this is enough.

Section 4.3 conflicts with the OSM expectations for attribution.  OSM
can put attribution on the wiki but not in each reproduction and
downstream distribution.

4.3 The Licensee shall incorporate in all reproduction and downstream
distribution of the Data all
metadata included by the Licensor in the provision of the Data.
