[josm-dev] re-licensing status display in the user list

[Jo]

Hi,

I've been looking at the user list, now that the re-licensing status is
shown in it. It surprises me a bit that only the relicensing status of the
last editor for a primitive is shown. Is it considered enough that a user
who agreed to the CTs touched a primitive as the last editor, to have it
relicensed (cleanly) to ODBL?

no, but:
educated guess
OSM XML data downloaded via the API usually only contains
the latest version of an object and so only the user name
of the last editor. Downloading the full history for every
object would substantially increase both the amount of
data to transfer and the OSM server load, so JOSM only
shows the information it has at hand which is the last
editor ...?
