I don't think that is right.  I would like to see a license which just
requires attribution and not much else, not to assert ownership but just to
say that we made this, it is cool, and you could join in and help us make it
better.  Commercial map providers don't need the publicity from attribution
as they are selling their product in the first place but I think we do as
most people still haven't even heard of OSM and we will always need more
contributors.

I don't care what people do with the data but I think attribution is helpful
just to shine a bit more light on the project.
