It was your idea - as you said, only asking the legal-talk mailing
list wouldn't give data representative of the opinions of the wider
OSM community.

Forking mapping work would be bad for everyone.

The public domain will benefit OSM.

Even if fighting teleatlas / etc is important to you, remember: Those

teleatlas & friends will be out of business.

Please stop spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt. You are not serving
your community.
