Yes of course!
The licenses are incompatible.
May be - but in OSM it is common sense, that coordinates are *facts*
which are not involved/infected by copyrights :-)
In Europe collections of facts are protected by database rights.
The OSM community is keen to protect the project's database rights.
OSM is the most accurate and biggest free DB about
coordinates.
So it is the best source for the WM-space.
Cooperation and data sharing between OSM and WM is a "must"...
I have a long running project to add Wikidata identifiers to OSM. I'm making
progress but I'm not ready to release anything yet. I will not be copying
coordinates in either direction.
Any work derived from OSM must include attribution and use an appropriate
license, CC-0 isn't acceptable. To change this would mean a relicensing of
OSM, which would be complex.
