Hello Robin, Thanks for poiting this out. Any thought on what license then should OpenCellID use? I would be happy if somebody with a good background on this would provide us a suggesiton on the license or even the wording to be used with OpenCellID.
And sebastian, as I stated yesterday, congrat for the idea, I am looking forward for the integration between this effort and OpenCellID.
