Im not sure what youre suggesting. NearMap has no interest in suing anyone, least of all OSM users since OSM is still under a compatible licence. What I was 'trying to do' was to point out that there needs to be a lot more care taken when asking users to relicence the data, and that the users whos names I could list should be taken off the list of those accepting the ODbL and CTs. > PS - tomorrow I will find out all the ways in Canberra that I had to > fix using nearmap, and replace them using compliant Bing imagery" Make sure you also survey those roads then so you can replace the tags you delete while replacing the ways. If you delete a road which is tagged as maxspeed=60 and re-trace it from bing, youd better go survey it in person and re-add all the data youre removing, otherwise YOU are the one causing problems to the project. At the very least, can I ask that if youre going to trace from bing, that you keep an eye on the imagery alignment as in some parts of Canberra I have found the imagery to be upto 100m offset. One might almost consider your efforts vandalism, and a complete waste of time and effort when you could be tracing areas that arent mapped, and if you really want to replace all the work others have done, then at least wait until it has been removed (if it is removed) in future.
