Hi All, I've been in contact with a declining mapper who has said that he will accept CT/ODbL once he gets rid of some contributions that he made from sources that he considers incompatible. As he described it to me he used cc-license photos from flicker etc., in making these edits. But apparently without crediting the photographer as would be required.
He can't remove the data with his declined account. I've removed the suspect edits as he has described them to me with the exception of this one near Ottawa. Highway 7 from 417 to Carleton Place appears to be twinned now and upgraded to divided highway. Aerial imagery appears to be too old to show the dual carriageway and new junctions. Some GPS tracks exist in the area. Canvec from this August include some of the twinning and diverted local roads nearer to 417, but not at the Carleton Place end. Would a contributor in the Carleton Place area please use local knowledge, and new survey to rip and replace Highway 7 from 417 to Carleton Place? That will purge any contributions that contributor may have concerns about. I hope that will allow the user in question to accept with a clear conscience. The user said he plans to agree "later". I hope that with us cleaning up the things he was worried about he'll see the benefit in agreeing now. Please let us know if you are going to do this work near Ottawa, and if so, let us know again when it is done.
