You keep seeming trying to divert attention from the major issue, the CTs won't allow anything other than PD data, almost no AU govt will accept anything less than guaranteed attribution, the 2 goals are completely in conflict. > This bogeyman again?

To bad the right thing to do by contributors is never given a second glance, too bad that what contributors really want is never properly asked... I want to be able to make the best maps possible, but this short sightedness will bind my hands so that we're left with a second rate map just so end users get all the benefits... So we'll go from having one of the best maps of metro and some rural parts of Australia to having a 2nd or 3rd rate map at best... Yes, too bad... _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
