I haven't been following recent OSM licence debates at all, but why not also offer the choice of licensing contributions under the PDDL[1] also? This does not prevent people from including such contributions in an ODL-licensed dataset.

Yep, we've been considering exactly that and will hopefully be able to offer it as a further option. cheers Richard ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk
[OSM-talk] License update
Richard, Andy and I just had a conference call to review where we are with the license. Progress is going well. We've engaged Jordan and sent off the changes we suggested to him, he is integrating them and will be releasing a new version. Once released he will consult with other interested parties on it and you will get the opportunity to do the same. This could take a little while, so we're thinking of changing the language of _new_ user signups to instead of releasing their work as CC, but as CC _or_ the ODL if the rest of the community vote on it. A link will be given showing that there is an ongoing license change discussion. Why are we thinking this? Because there are so many users signing up that every day it gets harder to go back and pull out data if a change is made. Comments on language to use etc warmly received. If there aren't any glaring problems then the change to the user signup page will be discussed at the OSMF board meeting on Thursday and put in to effect. Please follow up to legal-talk.
