[OSM-talk] Can OSM sources be public domain CC-0(zero)?

[Aun Yngve Johnsen]

I believe if you are the owner of the data, you can put any license  
you care on it and liberate it for use with OSM regardless of chosen  
license. As long as you state in some way that the data is free for  
use within OSM or something.
