[OSM-talk] Community Data License Agreement – Permissive and ODbL?

[Kathleen Lu]

WOF aside, we can put it on our agenda to discuss whether the
CDLA-permissive license is compatible with ODbL (note that there is also a
CDLA-sharealike, which is not compatible).
I've started to see it mentioned in other circles as well.
