[OSM-legal-talk] It's a shame

2012-05-29 Thread Johan C
Legal people know that an investigation is needed before an accusation can
lead to a judge or jury proclaiming 'guilty' or 'not guilty'.
Unfortunately, some users are very quick to proclaim guilty, even without
knowing the local situation or talking to the person being accused. I'm
very happy to answer any investigation questions raised upon edits I make.
But please let it be judged by a person who knows the local situation,
local open databases available etcetera. In the Dutch situation it's Henk
Hoff whom I have faith in since he knows the Dutch situation. Let him
contact me on this email adress osm...@gmail.com with any questions about
my edits. But please - do not  judge OSM'ers anymore without an
investigation which also gives OSM'ers like me (spending some 15 hours per
week on OSM for more than two years now) a chance to defend themselves.
Kind regards, Johan (It's so funny)

ps in spite of the ongoing discussion on @talk, I still didn't receive a
mail in the normal way (by sending a personal message)

[OSM-legal-talk] It's a shame

2010-08-20 Thread Nick Hocking
Next week I will be visiting the Adelaide Hills (South Australia) and was
planning to resurvey Mt Barker in order
to add the street names to a lot of roads that have not yet had them tagged.

However to do so at this stage would be pointless since eithe of two of the
three previous editors could
effectively auto-delete my work simply by failing to relicence their
existing contributions.

It is for this reason that I believe clause 3 of the CT is essential. This
current situation must not be allowed to happen again.

Hopefully by Christmas (another visit to the Adelaide Hills) collaborative
mapping will again be possible.

Cheers

The problem is the scope of section 3, not it's existence.
