Hello,
copyright page states:
"Our documentation is licensed under the Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license (CC BY-SA 2.0)."
https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright
Same is stated in the wiki.
Could we please upgrade this to a CC BY SA 4.0 license to avoid
especially for US users doing slight mistakes in attribution a lawsuit
claim of 150k USD?

It might be an interesting idea though to get some money back from these
using OSM data without attribution.
Just find users still using the old (10+ years) OSM CC 2.0 licensed
data. Or users of the fosm fork data containing any of your edits.
Check for slight attribution mistake, even in the past. Then make $$$
PS: no, please don't.
