That would be the moral and legal thing to do, I don't get the feeling this will be the case on data already in the system. Judging by comments made on the subject it seems that things will be done in a pretty haphazard manner, and the strict stance on respecting other people's copyright has been thrown out the window where it suits. What should have happened if the choice of contributors was being respected to relicense and preventing, or at least limiting any potential copyright issues, and in the case of Nearmap potential breaches of contract, would be to create a new database and any suitable data copied across. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
