I feel that the number of contributors is very important. > Secondly, I think Richard Weait found good words for this at SOTM: Nobody in > OSMF or the license working group wants to hurt OSM.

I'd like to repeat here something else that I tried to express during the discussion in Girona, as well. Many of the questions regarding the minimum requirements etc., seem to be based on the uncertainty of "what if?" I wish that I could make that uncertainty go away and tell you what the numbers will be. But I just can't. Anybody who can suggest a way to accurately predict the user numbers and data % and location and the extent where blank spots might arise should help us to allay these fears. But I think that there are simply too many variables to predict the future in a sensible way. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
