installer/license_template.txt should be revised

Hi everybody, I noticed that with every img I create there is a *_license.txt file generated that reads: Map data (c) OpenStreetMap and contributors http://www.openstreetmap.org/ Map data licenced under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 2.0 See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ Map created with mkgmap-r2426 You know since quite some time the OSM Data is no longer licensed under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 2.0, but there was a switch to Open Data Commons Open Database Lizenz <http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/> (ODbL) http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ Ciao, Franco

Hi, attached patch changes the default license text to ODbL. Anyhow I am not sure if the text is correct. The new license text would be: Map data (c) OpenStreetMap and contributors http://www.openstreetmap.org/ This map data is made available under the Open Database License: http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/.
