[OSM-legal-talk] Adopt a PD-Mapper ....... was Re: Refusing CT but declaring contributions as PD
Would the LWG support assigning the change sets of mappers that have made some kind of PD/CC0 declaration, to mappers that are willing to vouch for the data and accept the CTs? At least for mappers that have not explicitly declined the CTs this would seem to be doable without creating a conflict.

This seems simple. All you need to do is contact a mapper and ask him to give you his username and password. You can then accept the CTs on that account, change the email address and proceed as normal. Don't really see any need to involve the LWG. They would need to go through a similar process of contacting the mapper anyway I expect, so you might as well just get on with it.

Hi Simon, Basically no. Our stance is that the only copy of their data that is accessible is what they contributed only under CC-BY-SA in a database which is published CC-BY-SA. Whilst that stance may be arguable, the number of contributors is small, (3?), there is still a paradox between making a broad PD/CC0 declaration and not accepting the more limited subset new contributor terms, and there is a simple, practical solution without involving folks in a lot of technical work. Such mappers have taken a principled and clear but minority position that OSM data should be published PD/CC0 right now and have not accepted the contributors terms to make that point. The simple practical solution is to now accept the terms having made the point. Outside the right now, the new terms do not logically conflict and provide a rational mechanism for further engagement with the OSM community on what our license should be.
