Summary

Originally from https://github.com/microsoft/Open-Maps/issues/49#issue-656373903, a letter from Dept of Natural Resources Mines and Energy, Queensland clarifying their stance on use of their CC BY 4.0 licensed data in OSM.

Feedback from LWG was along the lines of this letter is the equivalent of a waiver and it demonstrates that:

[Queensland Goverenment] do not believe there is incompatibility between CC-BY 4.0 and ODbL, and thus their data can be used for OSM.

CC-BY is a contract between the licensor (Queensland) and the licensee (everyone else) so if the licensor interprets certain ambiguous clauses in it a certain way and states so in writing, then I think we can rely on that.

So based on this feedback from the LWG this sufficiently covers DNRM's use of CC BY 4.0 data in OSM.
