Just a note on the side: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Substantial_-_Guideline 
has a big notice at the top that in my experience seems to be written in 
invisible ink. you should always be referring to the definite documents 
published by the OSMF and not, in the best case historical, documents on 
the wiki, in this case 
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines/Substantial_-_Guideline
