Hmmm...  That sounds very problematic to me.   :-(

Just doing a thought experiment:
* Cadastre data are imported including this source tag
* somebody removes (or overwrites) for what reason ever the source tag 
at last of some buildings (none in the french community can guarantee 
that this doesn't happen)
* no one can expect that every lonesome mapper knows about the special 
requirement for this special source tag and leaves it attached
* a normal planet is generated (not a flll history planet) and distributed,
* nobody using the planet in aware about this special cadastre-situation 
using the houses as no information is present inside.
* the situation gets even worser is for what reason ever the houses with 
removed source tag are seperated out of DB and distributed as planet 
extract as a new DB just under ODBL.

_For me:_ the planet from above is illegal because some illegal data are 
included. This could cause a lot of problems to the OSMF. Who in the 
french community is willing to cover the risk?
BTW: this new DB is even more illegal.   :-(



Just my 2 cents,
Michael.

PS: and you (= the french community) are not even willing to use 
seperate accounts for such an hazardous import...    :-(
