Thank you for the guidance on proper OSM procedures.
Regarding source attribution, I will absolutely add proper source attribution going forward. For future changesets, I'll include the source tag, and I'll go back and add comments to the existing changesets as you suggested. Thank you for the example.
Regarding Licensing, you raise an excellent point about license compatibility. After considering this carefully, I believe the most appropriate approach would be to dual-license our dataset specifically for OSM contribution under ODbL.
Since we are the original data collectors and copyright holders, we have the flexibility to license our dataset differently for different platforms:
Zenodo version remains CC BY 4.0 for academic researchers
For OSM contribution should be Licensed under ODbL to ensure full compatibility.
I am thinking this approach will allow us to serve both the academic community (via Zenodo) and the broader geospatial community (via OSM) while respecting each platform's licensing requirements and community standards.
Let me know if this approach is acceptable to the OSM community and if yes, may you please guide me in proper procedure for licensing.

Regards,
Chifuniro.
