Is it particularly clear that OSMF, if I correctly understand it to be the umbrella organization, actually has their own attorneys? I am under the impression they volunteer in a very limited basis, and it in unclear if they see themselves as OSM counsel, and not just working on the ODBL (I imagine the latter). These are things that need clearing up, and will dictate what kind of resources we have and what we would need in the future. > -- Dave > > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-us mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us > _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
