I'm not suggesting any such thing has happened, but if people are going to abuse stuff it's possible that something like this might occur by someone in support of CT/ODBL if/when they find out just by shifting nodes by a random amount may give them the right to claim they "created" the node even if it shares the node id with a previous mapper. > Presuming that regular mapper, A_Mapper surveys and uploads their > neighbourhood, Mapperton, then other mapper, O_Mapper shifts > everything by a random 0.1mm, a superficial look at the current data > would show that O_Mapper touched all the data last.

You seem to have it backwards, A_Mapper refuses to accept, but O_Mapper did all the updates so the data could be accepted under the new license, even if A_Mapper refuses since the nodes would be considered to be created by O_Mapper even if the node IDs match. > a) leave as version 2 > b) revert to version 1 > c) delete data > d) something else. You have to delete something, reverting may not help if my understanding of some people's interpretation is valid in that the 2nd version may still be deemed acceptable under ODBL, option a is morally questionable in the same sense. > What about the reverse?

That is what I was taking about, Grant was the one commenting on the reverse and as I understand it that sort of suggestion is what might lead to people doing abusive edits, regardless if they are for or against. > There is a thread on osm-dev@ discussing how to model OSM data > regarding ODbL/CT acceptance.

I call it potential for abuse :) _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
