The talk would go over tips for mappers to help them think through potential license issues for imports. The tips would cover all the major steps for determining compatibility: identifying the data's license, check OSM-related history, identifying/resolving compatibility issues, and achieving community consensus.
This talk will be useful for any mapper with compatibility questions or who is interested in importing open data into OSM.

Outline:
- Sources of information about the license
- Website (page from which data is downloaded, about page, FAQ, TOS)
- Accompanying file (e.g., README, LICENSE)
- Terms, credits, etc.
- Metadata
- Information about licenses/dataset previously evaluated for use with OSM
- Imports wiki page
- License compatibility page
- forums/lists
- Common compatibility issues
- Attribution
- Use restrictions (e.g., noncommercial/personal/research)
- Privacy
- Sharealike
- Revocability
- Indemnity
- Local laws
- Things that are usually not a problem (disclaimer of warranty/accuracy, trademarks, governing law, )
- Making it easy for others to read a license
- A note about translation
- Link everything!
- Include all information about the source
- Where to obtain
- Description of where/who the data is from
- Include all information about the license

- Flag common compatibility issues and why you think they are or are not issues
