I discovered you can click on the country names on odbl.de. http://odbl.de/australia-oceania.html (Warning, very large page as it has every user). We're put in with the kiwis which is interesting because their data import account is also undecided on CT/ODbL. Anyway, ABS data (suburbs/cities/state boundaries etc.) is the largest sole contributor making up 15% of all nodes. 64% of contributors have accepted CT but only 50% of the ways/nodes at last edit (so that's even including users who modified something CC licenced). _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
