OS OpenData compatibility? #22

Description

@deldrarim

Hi!

It seems that OS OpenData isn't compatible with ODC-BY/ODbL (and the CC licenses?), due to the fact that...

"The OS OpenData license clearly states that any sub-licenses must include an attribution requirement, and must also enforce a similar attribution requirement on any further downstream usage. Arguably, this is not guaranteed by the ODbL, since attribution in produced works needs only point back to the source database, and not list all individual sources that went into creating that database." [1]

best regards,
simon
