That's the point. I'm not surprised, I'm not offended. I believe the disgruntled have made their point, and I definitely supported them while the debate was active. Now that it's over, and a done deal, I think it would be much better for them to now (begrudingly, reluctantly, ...) tick the damn box and move on. I wouldn't even be surprised or particularly offended if they also chose to have nothing further to do with this community. But to put in thousands of hours of work to create free map data that can be used by anyone, and then to finish up having contributed nothing strikes me as a spectacularly selfish act of self-immolation.
