[OSM-talk] Combining OSM data and my own data (CC-BY 4.0 license)

[Michael Collinson]

Adding to Simon's comments, you might consider switching your own 
database to ODbL or dual licensing under both, (as one of the main OSM 
license architects, I have been out of things for a while but I can't 
see any obvious issues with the dual approach). Depending on what you 
are personally comfortable with, ( a very important factor!), ODbL may 
be more appropriate for you as it IS designed specifically for databases.
