NearMap have requested that their imagery not be available in Potlatch, and have changed their license on their web site to remove explicit permission for OpenStreetMap. That is their right and their decision. They have the right to end their support or to withhold it while negotiations continue then reinstate it. That doesn't make NearMap bad. This isn't a competition with a winner and loser. The fact is that NearMap don't want OSM users using their imagery right now. So we shouldn't. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
