That is a lot of licenses to have to analyze and compare. I looked at Surrey's
and aside from the different branding, the first line of attribution requirements
uses a "Information Provider(s)" instead of "Information Provider". The OGL 2.0 
(the original UK one) uses the same terms as Surrey. If we do declare a template 
OD-compliant, how are we going to handle cities making changes like this?
