We can come to agreements then about licences
Maybe that is a solution for us aussies, since it appears Australian map data will be affected more than data in the rest of the world, and since it appears that mappers on the other side of the world dont care either way about the loss of our data, that Australia's OSM starts its own fork. We're unique enough that we have no land borders to worry about, we dont have to connect into any other map in the same way that the European/American continental maps have to connect to other. This would mean that Australia should be able to fork much more easily than other groups/nations, if it eventually came to it.
