[Talk-ca] Is "Mississauga Data" licence compatible with OSM?

I was in the process of adding some data, and had a discussion with another
mapper about whether the license provided by Mississauga Data (
http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/residents/mississaugadata) is compatible
with the OSM licence.

Their licence, available in the site's terms of use
http://www.mississauga.ca/file/COM/CityOfMississaugaTermsOfUse.pdf,
provides "a world‐wide, royalty‐free, non‐exclusive, revocable licence to
use, modify, and distribute the Datasets in all current and future media
and formats for any
lawful purpose".

I assumed this provided the permission to use their data without
restriction that OSM is looking for; can anyone confirm?

Thanks,
Greg
