There's actually no need to ever "add the Decline button", nor did I think it ever would be added. There was, if I recall correctly, never a "decline button" for the requirement for anon users to add an email address. You just couldn't edit until you hit the "accept button". Does anyone have any information about whether or not there will be a "decline button", and if so what it will do and when it will be implemented. Richard is right on one point for sure, though. March 31 is not a "switch over" date. On April 1, April 2, etc., the entire database will still be available under CC-BY-SA, and only some of it will be available under ODbL/DbCL. That there's still no plan for exactly how to take out the non-ODbL/DbCL-compliant data, even at this late stage, is disturbing, but that's always been the unexplained "silver bullet" part of the switch. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
