no, if we used only those open data that have no strings whatsoever
attached to them (i.e. cc0 or public domain) we won't burden our db with
attribution and share alike requirements that possibly will prevent the
active users in the future to change the license.

If the data publisher has chosen a license with only attribution
requirements and sees these satisfied by being mentioned on a list in our
wiki this is quite as good.

Share alike licensed data should IMHO not be imported into osm because it
makes another license change practically impossible (at least not without
data loss, and unfortunately not only the originally imported data but also
everything built on it).

cheers,
Martin
