Despite your attempts to sidetrack this discussion from the your data
import to some wider OSM licencing issue, I won't be sidetracked here.
The problem is no one seems to want to answer the hard questions,
everyone that should be dealing with these issues just seem to want to
ignore them and hope they stopped being asked. I don't wish to seem to
be picking on you personally, however someone needs to man up and take
responsibility for their choices or change where OSM-F is headed if
the positions are unsupportable with facts.
And the silence continues. As I said before Ian, I'm not personally
looking to pick on you or anyone for that matter, but those that made
specific choices don't think they should justify themselves and give
straight answers to straight questions.
It's starting to become painfully obvious that OSM-F wouldn't be able
to organise a piss up in a brewery, and there seems to be little or no
chance that they can actually pull off the license change over in
some kind of demotactic, moral and smooth change over so I'm basically
writing them off for all future edits as a complete waste of time.
A couple of us are toying about with what to do next, fosm.org seems
the most suitable at present since the idea is to continue on with
CC-by-SA licenses, although there is still debate over which CC-by-SA
license due to issues with the European Database Directive, but that
doesn't have any effect on us in Australia until and unless the
Australian government decides to do something similar if Telstra et al
push now that copyright doesn't protect their data.
What do others think, or have planned if OSM-F keeps heading into the
lost cause territory?

At the moment I'm tending to fosm.org as it seems the most compatible
with what I've been doing.
Having said that I'm still watching commonmap.org etc as well.
And considering setting up my own private server for Au only data for my
own use.
Cheers
Ross
