Unlike one of the arguments of the BBC not using OpenStreetMap, one of
the Dutch nationale broadcasters is using OpenStreetMap as their data
source for geovisualisations in the Dutch version of
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00d23yx> "Britain from Above", "The
Netherlands from Above"
<http://nederlandvanboven.vpro.nl/afleveringen/24uurnl.html>

Again it shows it is clear that data sources are credited:
<http://nederlandvanboven.vpro.nl/colofon.html> and a license or what
so ever doesn't stop anyone from using OpenStreetMap in other sources
such as a television program or interactive online map, not being
based on "openlayers" or what so ever.

Most of the sources that are actually used inside the program seem to
be known and (very) friendly to OpenStreetMap - one of them provided
the landuse in The Netherlands, a few years ago under CC-BY-SA, to be
compatible the removed the "-NC".


I hope the above shows that commitment is not based on a license, and
usage is not stopped by a license.
