my question is right now more about support of the licensing.
My real question is, does the mediawiki support creative commons projects over other licenses or it is just pragmatic and say we will go with osm no matter what it does in terms of licensing.
It occurred to me that this new license is not compatible with creative commons, and I wonder if people are even aware of that.

Hi there,
what you think about osm changing the license to be non compatible on the source level with creative commons?
It seems that the map people dont seem to care because the tiles will still be usable, but it also means that the source data cannot be used or copied freely into or out of wikipedia. It also means that rendering the osm tiles will also be copying this incompatible data with an incompatible license into the toolserver for processing.
Does the wikipedia and toolserver just support openstreetmap directly or does it support creative commons or where is the line being drawn?
There are also many other types of rendering that can be done with osm sea map and other views of the data that need rendering.
Can we use toolserver cpu for rendering other map tiles or is this only for osm tiles?
thanks, mike
