The OSM project is not happy with this license, though, and is looking to make a change. The attribution requirement is ambiguous in this context; do users need to credit every OSM contributor? Does making a plot of OSM data with added data layered on top create a derived product? But the scariest question is a different one: can the CC by-SA license cover the OSM database at all?

it is worthless - pure fud - and why are a bunch of non-contributors to OSM so keen on promoting this article? This is the 2nd reference I have seen here.
