The Foundation is [[License/Contributor_Terms|contractually bound to all OpenStreetMap individual contributors]] to license the data only under a specific license. Currently, this is ODbL 1.0. The Foundation has the right to change that license to meet future conditions but only if is "free and open" and only under a mechanism that involves getting the consent of then active contributors.
