Oh, sorry – you mean VGI? That was me the academic speaking - Volunteered Geographic Information, e.g., OSM, or any other geo content (e.g., Mapillary Cam data, or OpenDrone Map, or other) that is volunteered by people, as opposed to a “super” category - User Generated Content, which is any stuff that may be gathered from people out there, even unknowingly (some call this Coerced Geographic Content …)
Agreed with your other points – and this makes it quite tricky to write a good MoU 😊, but there is hope, M.

Hi Martin Unfortunately unsurprising, I hope we can all work together to be better. Noncompetition for grants is a great addition to an MoU, alongside preventing channeling of OSGeo, OSM, HOT etc (global) funds to non-open activities. Leading naturally to the principle of open data from open-branded activity; and hackathons resulting in PRs to existing projects rather than fork -> rebrand -> claim. What does "VGC" expand to? Cheers, Adam
