I am in favour of PD because I believe that in _this_ case it would be better for the free software community: copyleft works best when there are just few widely known and mostly easy to understand licenses, otherwise it becomes an obstacle; the odbl is even worse than the GPL as far as understandability goes. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' homepage: http://www.trueelena.org email: elena.valha...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
