Indeed. Although it's not really a new proposal, I'm just finally acting on an issue that has been known and documented for a long time. > That's pretty stupid, right? No. If it seems counter-intuitive, that's only because of the simple, but incomplete narrative that "OSM switched to the ODbL". What actually happened was that mappers were asked to accept the Contributor Terms. Those terms grant the OSMF the right to publish the database as either CC-BY-SA or ODbL+DbCL (or both at the same time). And this same document also describes a mechanism for adding more licenses to that list in the future. It's not an afterthought, but an integral part of the compromise that was achieved back then, and it's based on the painful lessons we learned in the process. _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
