I've tried to go a bit beyond what co-ment offers and started a page on 
the OpenStreetMap Wiki:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Suggested_Changes

On that page I've tried to not only list our ideas but also (native 
speaker of neither Legalese nor English that I am!) find possible 
wordings for them and identify where and how they could be inserted into 
ODbL. This will certainly require some work if it is to be anywhere near 
useful to Jordan for his review but maybe some of you can chip in.

Bye
Frederik
