[OSM-talk] Looking for a draft memo to allow an org to release data to OSM

[Frédéric Rodrigo]

Hi,

In the spirit of free (as libre for sure), I think we must encourage to 
open data to everybody when is possible rather than just make release 
agreement. I'm not talk about share-alike or not, but just try make 
think open, for everyone.

My 2 cents.
Frédéric.
