View source for Licence and Legal FAQ/Why CC BY-SA is Unsuitable

Translations: [[OSM:DE:ODbL/Why_CC_BY-SA_is_Unsuitable|Deutsch]]

This document attempts to put forward the case for moving away from Creative Commons' BY-SA license for Open Data. This is not the case ''for'' ODbL, only ''against'' CC BY-SA. Some of the cases also apply to other attribution/share-alike licenses. 

'''Audience''' This document is intended for "knowledgeable laymen"; those who understand the general concepts behind copyright law, the nature of the OSM data and the uses of it in the community. I have tried to cite as many sources as possible so that those more knowledgeable can seek them out for themselves, rather than rely on my excerpts.

Note that there is also a [[File:Why_CC_BY_SA_is_Unsuitable.pdf|PDF version]].
