I don't normally get involved in licencing stuff, but I disagree with unnecessary data destruction.
While I have accepted the CTs, and to be honest don't care one way or the other about ODBL, CC, etc.... I would urge most strongly that this is *not* done. Tim is a decent guy and has contributed enormously to OSM - contributing many of the scanned OOC maps for one thing. OSM should be about creating, not deleting data. If you have more accurate landuse data than what is already there, by all means contribute it. If not, leave it alone.

There are many landuse polygons in the London area that were created by user TimSC, who has not yet accepted the Contributor Terms. They will all be purged from the database when the licence changes if he continues not to do so. TimSC is now demanding changes to the way OSM is run with the treat of not accepting the CTs. (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.legal/6102) I believe that, whatever the merits what he wants are, his methods are unacceptable and the community should reject them. I therefore propose to delete every landuse polygon that TimSC created with the hope that they will eventually be replaced with polygons based on high- resolution imagery and ground surveys that we can use going forwards. -- Andrew _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
