My point of view on the license is very pragmatic. I support the ODbL as it
is a continuation and a clarification of the CC-BY-SA. Ideally, a public
domain license would be better but we can see how difficult it is to switch
from a share alike license to another, so switching to a public domain
license would be even more difficult due to the existing terms of CC-BY-SA.
In addition, it is clear that people are almost equally split between SA
licenses and PD domain, and it would be difficult to achieve any kind of
meaningful consensus. It is a highly heated ideological debate which
In addition, in my view, the only real change for me in ODbL is the
introduction of the concept of produced work, which is likely to increase
the use of OSM data by companies and some individuals. The rest is mostly
clarification and precision of CC-BY-SA.
