Perhaps more than a quick read would be more beneficial.

Gert wants OSMF to align "open and free" with a formal definition used
by a respected organisation specialising in "open and free" licences /
software / data.

Gert wants OSMF to sort out the differing statements concerning "not
wanting to own the copyright of the data" and demanding that they have
the copyright.

They are not 'legal matters' but matters of principle which need to be
sorted out.
