Thanks - that's great news.   It used to be cc-by-sa.   They don't seem
to point to a version, so I guess that means the latest.  Certainly
asking if it's ok is easy enough, should we get to the point where we
are serious.

Long-term, I would love to see us import the addresses.  That's a big
job, in terms of avoiding existing data and conflation to our buildings
(but they've done some of that) and I may eventually have time to help.
