Hi there,
I for one am very confused about the new license.
Does it allow the usage that wikipedia has, does anyone understand the
new license?
can someone take the time and explain it to me or point me to docs?
thanks,
mike

I had in mind that the OSM default style file is

CC-BY-SA[1]. If this is correct we should this license.
For the OSM-Gadget and WIWOSM it should be a small effort to change the
attribution.
For three layers we have in OSM-Gadget 3 attributions and limited space,
Parts of the attribution are translated by translate wiki. Our attributions
are in the moment:
"Map by OpenStreetMap (CC-BY-SA), Wikipedia (CC-BY-SA), WIWOSM"
I would change it to
"(c) OpenStreetMap contributors: license, Wikipedia (CC-BY-SA), WIWOSM"
As mention here[2]. Would this be correct?
To make the right attribution easier, it would be nice if
osm.org would have
the attribution on the map like it want have it on external maps, because
else I believe the ODBL-documentation in the OSM-Wiki is very complex and
confusing.

Hello everyone,
as you probably all know OpenStreetMap has been in the process of
changing its license for a while. Well, as of two days ago the process
was finally completed and the source data from
OpenStreetMap.org is
now licensed under the OBbL 1.0 [1].
For the moment the data in the osm_mapnik database on the toolserver
is still CC-BY-SA as the replication was suspend at the time of the
license change. However, in order to enable updates again, we have to
transition over to ODbL as well.
For legal reasons, the recommended (by the OSMF) transition strategy
is to drop any existing databases and re-import them fresh from the
newly release planet file now licensed under ODbL. To be able to
enable updates again, I would like to do that fairly soon.
Apart from that, the attribution string needs to be slightly changed
for all projects that are using the OpenStreetMap data, once the
re-import has completed.
With respect to tile licensing, I suggest we follow the example of
osm's tileserver. While the underlying data is licensed ODbL, the
rendered tiles would be licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
Could everyone who uses the OSM database on toolserver therefore
please check if there are any issues with transitioning to ODbL and
prepare for the change of attribution?
Given that the OpenStreetMap is used in Wikipedia through the
OSM-gadget, WMA and WIWOSM, does the wikimedia legal team have any
suggestions or objections to the change?
I'll keep you posted.
Kai
