[OSM-talk] Is it a temporary file or Derivative Database under ODbL

[Ed Avis]

I would like to suggest the continuation of dual-licensing under CC-BY-SA in
addition to ODbL.  Then, anyone who is currently making use of OSM will be able
to continue doing so with no legal worries.  There would then be a choice of two
ways to use the OSM map data:

- old-style share-alike: your final result must be distributed under CC-BY-SA
  (which is fine for many in the existing OSM community, but not attractive to
  many commercial users)

- new-style 'produced work' under ODbL: you don't have to distribute the final
  work under any particular licence, but you must share the derived database and
  tools needed.
