It's not to the bitter end; copyright restrictions fall off after 50 years or whatever. But I guess that if we are using a multiple-law strategy, some of the laws don't have expiries. Can anyone tell us what the situation is there, for certain? I would strongly support an expiry at something like 20 years, and I think OSMF should seriously consider that if it turns out that the contract or other parts of the legal protection are perpetual. But I don't think I'd support it anything like as soon as a year. I doubt we could come to an agreement on a level that would keep PD people happy and copyleft people happy. :-| Gerv _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk
