Hi,
understandably, the license change process creates some unease
amongst mappers. Most of them are pragmatic - they have agreed to the
change, and now they want to continue what they do best, which is
mapping stuff.
They know that mapping new stuff (without reference to incompatible
sources) is safe, and anything they create will definitely be in OSM to
stay.
But some of them are wary of modifying existing objects. How can they
know that they are not building on sand - might the very object they are
about to edit one day have to be removed because its author has not
agreed to the license change?
How could we make life easier for them? What technological measures
could realistically be employed to determine what is "safe to edit" and
how could this be signalled to the mapper?
Bye
Frederik
