It's So Funny has not copied your data here, he has simply modified it (in 
this case, changing highway=residential to highway=unclassified).  When the 
redaction bot is unleashed, if you have still not accepted the CTs (do you have 
a particular reason not to?), this data will be deleted.  There is no problem 
here.

Thanks

 True.  Copy / pasting is not the same as remapping from permitted sources.

I've sent CeesW a message asking him to join the discussion here.

Most of his other edits seem legit, but the comment on this changeset
is somewhat remarkable: ... data reconciliation ODbl.

Let's hope he explains himself.

This is months after the changes made by CeesW. So his actions

Apparently this ownership is more complex then 
at first sight.

A way is defined by its nodes and its tags.
Maarten only took a look at the tags.

cetest did not only add a residential tag, but
created  the nodes (Version 1) that defines this 
particular way with GPS acquired data,
later assisted by satellite data, even before 
Bing became available.

way data:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/7539781/history

Nodes data (just one)
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/44729547/history

The whole area is full of this type of copyright breaches,
and I did not investigate anywhere else.

Next topic of action: 
Analyzing the bicycle routes that I personally biked
(GPS available, though not uploaded) 
through large parts of the south west in Holland, will
show if the new author actually drove the route,
copied the data that I created,

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM : It's a shame !!!

2012-05-29 Thread Thomas Davie
If I remember correctly (someone correct me if I don't), a lawyer has agreed 
that it's okay to keep node positions and ways where a user would reasonably 
have created the same way from an ODbL compatible data source.  So for example, 
in this case, the user could reasonably create the exact same way by tracing 
bing, and hence is fine in terms of copyright breach.  The less destructive way 
to do this would be to simply mark the way as odbl=clean rather than deleting 
the original and creating a new one with the same node positions though.

Thanks

The fact that the nodes were created on 2007-09-30 and the way was

At the time it was judged to be important to
keep reference to the original and data.
I remember copying lots of old AND tags
onto my created roads.

I think what should be leading here is
the version number, as recorded by the server.

Whatever excuse there may be, including reference to
anonymous lawyers, it's simply
a shame using cut and paste to change ownership
of nodes and ways.
It  was me that basically change the majority of 
this area into a nice, well aligned and usable
map from the mess (in terms of layout) we got from AND.

It is up to the new author to use GPS or Bing and
create a new way, using new nodes.
That is the intend of OSM, it has always been that
and it's not because some users are bad/lazy losers that
cheating can be justified.

valid, ODbL licensed data, personally, I would rather this guy had taken a path 
of even less resistance – simply tagged the way odbl=clean.

 Maarten only took a look at the tags.

 cetest did not only add a residential tag, but
 created  the nodes (Version 1) that defines this
 particular way with GPS acquired data,
 later assisted by satellite data, even before
 Bing became available.

 way data:
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/7539781/history

 Nodes data (just one)
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/44729547/history

 The whole area is full of this type of copyright breaches,
 and I did not investigate anywhere else.

 Next topic of action:
 Analyzing the bicycle routes that I personally biked
 (GPS available, though not uploaded)
 through large parts of the south west in Holland, will
 show if the new author actually drove the route,
 copied the data that I created,
 or just took the GPX files from the fietsersbond.

 It's So Funny changed a way that was created by CeesW on 2012-01-09:

 The previous way was deleted by CeesW in the same changeset.

 So the person to confront would be CeesW, not It's So Funny.
 Offending

 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/10345339

 I don't see anything wrong with CeesW's change either:
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/7539781/history

 AND has accepted the CT. The only thing cetest did was change
 unclassified to residential. This was kept by CeesW, but the whole
 area is a residential landuse, so I see no problem with that tag.

 The official stance from AND is that the data in the OSM database on
 march 1 2010 can be used under ODbL, but previously not-entered data
 from the original dataset is also not allowed to enter OSM under ODbL.
 That clarification came on april 5th (discussed on talk-nl):
 http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-nl/2012-April/013870.html

 This is months after the changes made by CeesW. So his actions (deleting
 and recreating) were extremly premature, in hindsight unnecessary and
 can be called strange at any point in time.
 You'd almost think it was an error on his part, but deleting and
 recreating the same ways in the one changeset does not support that view
 very much.

Potlatch, I think, now has a whole mode designed to get rid of

Hello,

First of all, let me just say it is indeed impolite to share private
conversation but I would love to see that tested in a court.
That said, the whole point of people in FOSM waiting for OSM to fail is
kind of annoying. I understand why the fork happened (doesn't mean that I
agree with it); I understand why some people are reacting the way they do
but I have to admit it is getting ridiculous.
FOSM is a fork. It is a conscious statement that you wanted to break away.
I am glad that you guys had that *freedom* in the first place (despite all
the FUD that the new contributor terms won't allow forking) and I wish you
the best of luck in this project as I wish the best of luck to other
mapping projects like Common map for example. Now, you decided to leave the
project so just leave it. I am not going to go to FOSM and ask for my data
to be deleted playing on my moral right for example (even though sometimes
I am seriously tempted to ask for my data to be removed out of exasperation
due to the behaviour of some members of FOSM).
If you strongly believe that ODbL won't stand the legal scrutiny, mount a
legal challenge to it. Just do it. That said, you have to realize that ODbL
is currently the licence that is being used more and more in France for
OpenData and actually across the world having being reviewed by several
legal departments. You may not agree with the way it was drafted but it
seriously look like it has some legs.
If you point out elements that have been copied, we will be happy to make
sure that people is not copying from your data. Anyway up to a point, the
data will be replaced and the very use of copyright on fact is tenuous at
best. I think from that point of view, despite all the mistakes the
foundation made during the process (we are after all volunteers), the
foundation has shown lot of willingness to sort many issues; it just that
at some points we can only agree to disagree hence why there was a fork.
You are just trolling. You are not even constructive towards FOSM. From the
way I look at it, FOSM is only a half hearted fork where there are only a
few people actually contributing, the rest of them is just sulking that OSM
didn't go their way. Maybe it is time to be more constructive towards the
choice that you made. From that point of view, I really appreciate the work
of some people in FOSM who are actually being constructive.

In short, feel free to complain when your data is *REALLY* used wrongly.
Else, put up or shut up regarding the ODbL. If you really believe that it
is not going to work, mount a proper legal challenge.

I think someone has given you the wrong impression about FOSM.  It's a
free-standing fork of OSM that differs only in that it continues to
use CC-BY-SA.  We consider this to be a better license for
contributors and we feel that contributors are the most valuable part
of the equation.  Sadly, OSM does not appear to value or care for
contributors interests as much as I once hoped it would.

Nobody expects OSM to fail.  I was the first to point out to Steve
Coast, in 2006, that OSM was already an unstoppable train.  Not even
the stress caused by the license change could prevent it's success.

 I understand why the fork happened (doesn't mean that I agree
 with it); I understand why some people are reacting the way they do but I
 have to admit it is getting ridiculous.
 FOSM is a fork.

In many ways OSM is the fork.  It is the project that is unsatisified
with the status-quo.  Although it has not yet managed to publish
anything under ODbL and I wouldn't bet money on it achieving that
objective any time soon.

It is a conscious statement that you wanted to break away. I
 am glad that you guys had that *freedom* in the first place (despite all the
 FUD that the new contributor terms won't allow forking) and I wish you the
 best of luck in this project as I wish the best of luck to other mapping
 projects like Common map for example. Now, you decided to leave the project
 so just leave it.

We all have the same goals.  Free and open mapping data.  Your
language suggests you are trying to push people away.  While there is
indeed a license fork, there has never been a need for a fork of the
community.  You will recognise many fosm contributors as being major
characters in the OSM community.

I am not going to go to FOSM and ask for my data to be
 deleted playing on my moral right for example (even though sometimes I am
 seriously tempted to ask for my data to be removed out of exasperation due
 to the behaviour of some members of FOSM).

Please explain more about the behaviour of fosm members?  We don't
have members as such, but I get what you mean.  As far as I can see
fosm contributors are a very happy and contented bunch.  Especially
when compared to some of the rhetoric on this list.

 If you strongly believe that ODbL won't stand the legal scrutiny, mount a
 legal challenge to it. Just do it. That said, you have to realize that ODbL
 is currently the licence that is being used more and more in France for
 OpenData and actually across the world having being reviewed by several

There's nothing half-hearted about fosm.  Many of the people involved
in it have been working with OSM since the very early days and are
unlikely to go away.  Some of OSMs most prolific contributors now
contribute exclusively to fosm.

 Maybe it is time to be more constructive towards the
 choice that you made. From that point of view, I really appreciate the work
 of some people in FOSM who are actually being constructive.

 In short, feel free to complain when your data is *REALLY* used wrongly.
 Else, put up or shut up regarding the ODbL. If you really believe that it is

No doubt, if the license change and redaction is not handled properly
then it will end up in the courts.  We will all lose if that happens.
The laywers will be the only ones that win from that outcome.

responsible for that !

Onderwerp: Re: [OSM-talk] OSM : It's a shame !!!
 
Hello,
 
First of all, let me just say it is indeed impolite to share private 
conversation but I would love to see that tested in a court.
That said, the whole point of people in FOSM waiting for OSM to fail is kind 
of annoying. I understand why the fork happened (doesn't mean that I agree 
with it); I understand why some people are reacting the way they do but I 
have to admit it is getting ridiculous.
FOSM is a fork. It is a conscious statement that you wanted to break away. I 
am glad that you guys had that *freedom* in the first place (despite all the 
FUD that the new contributor terms won't allow forking) and I wish you the 
best of luck in this project as I wish the best of luck to other mapping 
projects like Common map for example. Now, you decided to leave the project 
so just leave it. I am not going to go to FOSM and ask for my data to be 
deleted playing on my moral right for example (even though sometimes I am 
seriously tempted to ask for my data to be removed out of exasperation due to 
the behaviour of some members of FOSM).
If you strongly believe that ODbL won't stand the legal scrutiny, mount a 
legal challenge to it. Just do it. That said, you have to realize that ODbL 
is currently the licence that is being used more and more in France for 
OpenData and actually across the world having being reviewed by several legal 
departments. You may not agree with the way it was drafted but it seriously 
look like it has some legs.
If you point out elements that have been copied, we will be happy to make 
sure that people is not copying from your data. Anyway up to a point, the 
data will be replaced and the very use of copyright on fact is tenuous at 
best. I think from that point of view, despite all the mistakes the 
foundation made during the process (we are after all volunteers), the 
foundation has shown lot of willingness to sort many issues; it just that at 
some points we can only agree to disagree hence why there was a fork.
You are just trolling. You are not even constructive towards FOSM. From the 
way I look at it, FOSM is only a half hearted fork where there are only a few 
people actually contributing, the rest of them is just sulking that OSM 
didn't go their way. Maybe it is time to be more constructive towards the 
choice that you made. From that point of view, I really appreciate the work 
of some people in FOSM who are actually being constructive.
 
In short, feel free to complain when your data is *REALLY* used wrongly. 
Else, put up or shut up regarding the ODbL. If you really believe that it is 
not going to work, mount a proper legal challenge.

The node referenced created by cetest will not survive redaction (and I
assume the rest of data to be similar), and neither do the edits on the
way indicate anything other than normal editing  (see
http://osm.mapki.com/history/way.php?id=7539781). I am slightly at a
loss to see what exactly Gert is complaining about.

HI there,
I thought FOSM was off topic, where are all the moderators to stop this thread?

I never wanted to leave osm, osm made me leave. I never wanted to fork
osm, osm forked itself to some new license.

lets keep the facts straight, people just wanted to continue with the
same system as before, osm is the one that changed.

[OSM-talk] OSM : It's a shame !!!

2012-05-28 Thread ce-test, qualified testing bv - Gert Gremmen
After having been banned from OSM for not signing the CT, my
contributions, that have been well received by the community in the past
have been removed by the april 1st license shift.

 

The Foundation has called anyone in the community to reduce lost by
remapping the concerned areas.

 

However,  it was not meant that the data were simply to be copied,
deleted and re-pasted into  the map using a fake account.

 

This seems to be the case however, where my contributions were
shamelessly copied and pasted back into the map.

 

Of course I kept a dump from before april 1st where my name is linked to
a number of roads in a specific area showing I denied the CT.

And if I download the same area in OSM of today I find that this area
has NOT been changed for a fraction of an inch.

The old and new area projected on different layers in JOSM fit exactly
on each other, even at the highest magnification available (15 cm = 1
inch on screen)

 

The user involved is called  It's so funny   and I believe that fake
account with obfuscated characters was not chosen for nothing, because
it cannot be retrieved in OSM, at least not using JOSM Show info , and
osm.org does not provide a contact info (otherwise I would have
contacted this user first).

 

However, it means that the current copy of the OSM database is not ODBL
compliant anymore because parts of it remain clearly CC-by-SA , and
these areas are plain copies of the work I carried out.

 

This is sooo low. OSM, how low can you get !

Providing all the tools to check for ODBL compatibility and

accepting copy and paste just like that by any stupid looser
contributor.

 

Why is there no tool for checking on copy paste copyright
infringement...

Because no-one meant to check on that ?

True.  Copy / pasting is not the same as remapping from permitted sources.

2012-05-28 Thread Thomas Davie
Hi Gert,

First, I'd like to make a semantic point – you were not banned from OSM for not 
signing up to the CTs, you are still welcome to contribute, as long as you 
contribute in a way that's compatible with the new license.

More importantly though, what's happened here is absolutely reprehensible.  
They've violated your copyright, and endangered the whole project.  Do you have 
a link to the changeset in which your data has been copied?  I'm sure people 
will be more than willing to revert the change, and construct data from the 
sources we can use.

Thanks

Tom Davie

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM : It's a shame !!!

2012-05-28 Thread john whelan
I was under the impression that OSM is riddled with data that is not .odbl
compliant.  In some of my personal mapping my sources may not have been
fully personal observation which is more or less what I understand .odbl
requirements to be which is why I requested my contributions be deleted
since I couldn't remember absolutely which were which.  My more recent
updates are .odbl compliant.

The CANVEC imports I did could be quickly redone.  In fact I note that some
bright spark has been reimporting CANVEC 7 information over CANVEC 6 so
suddenly there are lots of duplicates that the bots don't pick up because
the source is different.

No.

I don't understand why the responses so far haven't mentioned the most 
glaring reason for this. The license-compliance redaction has not yet 
begun! Even your data that haven't been touched still remain because they 
have not yet begun the process of removing the non-compliant data (thankfully).
