The initial answer was that the license would impose obligations on top 
of the ODbL, our distribution license. This would make the data 
incompatible.

I have gotten back to them with some additional questions which might 
offer a way forwards and clarify the problems. If I can't get anywhere 
we'll have to decide what to do, but it will probably mean we can write 
off the City of Ottawa as a potential data source.
