Actually, I would suggest it is Richard who is being rude in this situation, or is this a new policy to ask people publically to confirm any sources for edits they have made without a source tag (or with a source tag that I doubt). In the interests of consistency Richard, would you also like to contact the following members who have made edits on June 19th around Sydney and who also failed to include a source tag for their edits: Franc, gopher, dexgps? > It does matter - if you don't put a comment Are you also raising this issue with everyone who uses potlatch in live edit mode, or is JS just easy pickings today? > then it could be construed that your edits were copied from other sources.

One can only assume that the edits were copied or derived from some source, otherwise it would be a creative art and out-of-place for OSM. What do you mean 'contaminated'? It may surprise you to know that some data that 'contaminates' OSM with regards to the ODbL, can safely exist in current OSM and FOSM with no legal problems. If this data came from a CC-BY-SA source and he hasnt accepted the CTs, then where is the problem? Can you seriously sit there with a straight face, while OSM data is on the edge of being devastated in this country and find the most pressing issue is someone not adding a source tag for a single barrier node (plus some other minor edits)? One wonders whether you would raise the same issue about any other users if they hadnt dissented so much against the foundation, political trolling at its best.
