[Talk-GB] Licensing compatibility

[Simon Poole]

Its my personal opinion (which I believe is clear from the text), but
given that the attribution terms are essentially the same as for the
ODbL, a licence we just happen to have a lot of experience with :-), it
is fairly clear that we would be contradicting our stance on acceptable
attribution of OSM if the LWG came to a different formal conclusion.

But I can naturally table a formal compatibility determination, I just
can't guarantee that it will be available quickly given that we are
rather busy with GDPR related work.
