Welcome to OSM.

We're not consistent. We're a glorious anarchic mess. That's why the  
project works.

The data is licensed uniformly under CC-BY-SA (though some people,  
myself included, dual-license their contributions under a more  
permissive public domain declaration).

We hope that this encourages a broad ecosystem of software,  
renderings, and other wondrous things. We do not specify what form  
this ecosystem takes. We are principally concerned with the data.
