Not tricky. A judge will require that you believe yourself in such matters, so if you say "Do what you want", and then try to sue, you WILL lose. There's a legal doctrine called "reliance", where a judge won't let you mislead people into violating a contract and then sue them. So yeah, if somebody explicitly declines but have said that their edits are PD, then they really *are* PD, and they should be greenlit. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
