I wonder if this will be the final straw that leads to the data being forked. There generally seems to be 2 camps in most debates like this, you have the idealists, and the pragmatists.... eg Debian=idealists, Ubuntu=Pragmatists. I'm generally not that overly concerned with the rest of the world, but will be really upset with how this will push Australia backwards, the ABS data and other datasets recently released by the verious Australian governments has been very good in helping to push things forward in low denisty areas and there is a lot of data that will just up and vanish if they enforce this. I'm not an OSMF member and have been getting more and more annoyed with the way things are headed by the idealists. I have the resources (hardware/bandwidth) at my disposal to do something if I absolutely have to about Australia. I am really hoping it won't need to come to that outcome because it will fork resources considerably as the camps diverge. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
