Since most contributors were not asked about the relicense process, then, if they just agree to relicense their data and then leave the project, OSMF will never know. Yes, it is daft that the question of 'do you agree with changing the licence' has become entangled with 'will you accept the new contributor terms'. There are those who don't agree with the project's direction, but, if their arm is twisted, will agree to relicense their data; there may be others who would prefer the ODbL but are unable to agree to the CTs since they don't own all the data they have contributed. -- Ed Avis e...@waniasset.com ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

Here is his answer: Okay, even if I dont have time (this is the reason for not going on the mailing list, but you could give me the adress to subscribe to them), I am going to explain it to you: The maps were made in the 1974-1980 years by the MILITARY GEOGRAPHICAL INSTITUTE of Belgrade in SOCIALISTIC FEDERATIVE REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA 1992, Yugoslavia crashed. New countries were born: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro, Makedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.) and Serbia (and others say also Kosovo). Those maps were made by the military by them own, so something governmental. The inhabitants were buying that and its opend source as long the governement or the military says NO (and they said NO) Since the new countries exist, the VGI has NO responsibility or right to create maps of those countries, as long as they dont give an order to do so (but the didn't!) Those countries have their own geogrphical or geodesist institutes. So: the VGI is selling those OLD prints and they have still an copyright on reproduction of those papers, BUT NOT THE CONTAINED DATA !!! The VGI has only responsibility on the land of Serbia (nowadays) and there, of course I am NOT ALLOWED to use the datas! I agree that it is a grey zone, but who will say that its illegal? In my case, I am working on Bosnia (and not Croatia anymore): The VGI cannot accuse, cause they have not the right on the datas, its an own country! Bosnia has no right on the datas, cause they gave no order to be made. those maps (the datas on them) are FREE (as long as you dont use it on Serbian terretory). It is difficult to explain it for me in this language, but you can trust me, that I am right, and as normal, there are a lot of people, who think in an other way. Thinking is not enough. Knowing its better. I am working in a govermental company in germany, which is dealing with licenses and I have the knowledge. I was reading constitutions and I got in contact with the Bosnian governement and the serbian VGI. I bought those maps by my own from the VGI (yes, as a foreighner you can buy those maps, but not those which have datas of serbia on them). Everything what I am making should be confirmed ot the place, I wil go there in next spring 2011. And I will look up with my GPS if the work, I did is correct. You cannot do everything by using gps, e.g. Rivers, streams, power lines, forests, basins etc. I hope you understand me and you agree with me or better you trust me, that I am not doing anything wrong.

His useful contributions, on the other hand, are negligible. I propose a permanent ban. That all sounds very familiar. Anthony if this isn't you please do tell who you are then? While we're at it - is John Smith actually Duane Groth? http://www.ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2008/msg01341.html I don't think OSM should become a honey pot or home for a loose band of trolls who've had various run ins with every other major project.

I'd like to further ask that you do not repost private messages on a public message board. Your behavior is unacceptable, and I'm not going to respond to it with more information for you to continue your campaign of lies and harassment. Amazingly your domain name, inbox.org, is listed as owned by one Anthony DiPierro. So I guess what you're saying is that's not the trolling Anthony DiPierro who was subject to all those problems in wikipedia then? And it's a coincidence that your name is Anthony and you troll our groups now? Glad it's all cleared up.
