Would a data consumer be able to legally combine OSM and 
wikipedia/wikidata data in any meaningful way, given this fundamental 
licence incompatibility?  What requirements would they have to fulfil 
with their combined data?  The OSM side of things is discussed in some 
detail at 
http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ , but 
what about requirements due to other data in there?
