==== Licences that forbid specific use ====
Licences that forbid specific ways of use or exclude fields of endeavor are not compatible with OpenStreetMap. We licence our data on "open" terms that allow all kind of use.
Example: the Australian G-NAF address data is published on CC BY 4.0 terms with an additional restriction that limits the use of the addresses for direct marketing purposes. The terms are not open and the data can not be used in OpenStreetMap.
An edge case is a general requirement that data should not be used for illegal activities, this may be acceptable and will require further investigation.
==== Licences that require us to use current data ====
