Please do and sooner than later, would be nice. :)

We (me and Ævar) asked Mike quite some time ago and brought the question to
Geoff and I think mentioned it to other legal team folks.  While I haven't
been super persistent about this, I think the question about OSM and
generally about database rights will come up time and again.

It's important for many of our maps and data-related projects, and worth
the time to get more clarification about this.

I am sure enough the license is compatible to proceed with my maps stuff
but not 100% sure of all the details on remixing and doing various things
and what requirements come with that in terms of attribution and sharing
data and get confused sometimes. :(

Cheers,
Katie
