I do not appreciate getting lots of ODbL FUD spam,
Are you sure this has something to do with JOSM? I mean, we've been
saying it for half a year now on EVERY wiki page ("OSM is changing its
license"...) and it's been on the JOSM startup page for quite a while
now. Is it not likely that what you're seeing is the effect of a much
more recent development, namely maps like
http://osm.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/map/ where people can see which
areas have been edited by people who haven't yet agreed to the CT/OdbL?
I would not want people to send messages to "total strangers" but if it
is someone from an area where you have edited a lot, then I can
understand that if they find a large section of his city or quarter not
relicensed that they become concerned and send you a message. - When I
map somewhere, I know that this might result in me being contacted by
"total strangers", i.e. other members of this project who care for the
place I've edited.
Bye
Frederik
