I hadn't seen it, so thanks. But there's also a response below it
explaining why Ed's reasoning is incorrect.

To support the view that clause 2 acts independently of clause 1 (ie
you must comply with both of them) Francis Davey (who is a lawyer) has
offered his opinion that you can't even add CC-By data to OSM and
comply with the CTs [3]. This certainly wouldn't be the case if you
*only* had to follow clause 1.

We're still waiting to hear LWG's view on this, and how they think the
CTs are supposed to operate...

Robert.
