Adding them to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution seems
like a good idea, but I see a potential problem.  Have any of the au
community who are so enthusiastically using nearmap as a source
considered the effect of the OSM license upgrade to ODbL?  Will all
nearmap-sourced data have to be reverted / removed?  Or has the au
community approached nearmap and received their written consent to
relicense data derived from their images as ODbL?

I see that they mention OpenStreetMapS <-- that terminal "s" again,
most-common typo, ever!  in their terms of use, and they certainly
seem pretty awesome all around.  But what's up with the license
upgrade?

Best regards,
