The Foundation supports the adoption of this license and has reviewed it with their lawyers and it is now being discussed by the community. The proposed license has been developed by [http://www.opendatacommons.org/ OpenDataCommons] a project of the [http://www.okfn.org/ Open Knowledge Foundation].
The proposed license comes in two parts. One, the [http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ Open Database License (ODbL)] covers the database itself and, and a set of upgraded [[License/Contributor_Terms| Contributor Terms]] covers the content of the database.
OSMF members are currently voting on whether they wish to put the current version of the new license to the community for adoption and then begin the adoption process itself. Voting closes midnight (23:59) GMT on the 26th December 2009.
Personal statements from community members making the case [[osm:Open Data License/Why You Should Vote Yes|for]] and [[osm:Open Data License/Why You Should Vote No|against]] the change are available [[osm:Open Data License|on the OSM wiki]].
