[Talk-GB] Mistagging of old telephone boxes

[Dave F]

Just looked at one in my city:
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5565173
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5283204876/history

This is one he tagged as a usable phone. He added the note after I 
queried his edits.
So it looks like he didn't use Geograph.

To double check -  CC BY-SA 2.0 is compatible with OSM?
