Hi,
This sums up me too. After years of mapping in Australia (when I
started in Tasmania the map was literally blank) the threat of data
deletion is the most de-motivating thing ever. I have used nearmap so
I am of the understanding I CAN'T accept the terms. I also agree that
many who accept probably have no idea of the legal issues and will be
creating tainted data.
I am waiting for an outcome and hoping for the best but the longer I
wait the the more de-motivated I become and the community has
certainly lost momentum. There is no incentive to keep mapping while
there is a chance all of your work will be deleted in the future.
Like Michael sometimes I can't help myself and do some more mapping,
but it still feels futile.
Cheers,
Neal

I hear you Liz and All Blokes, it is sad. Really tried to ignore the
politics as I just wanted to map things to help out the local
community and since I heard about the changes I have almost given
up. Now I only map when I can't help myself.
Might be time to retire from my mapping and let someone else do the
Empires work!!
