It looks like we finally got some kind of "License plan" for the step towards the new license, so everyone check http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Implementation_Plan
Let me start with the obvious questions first: * why don't you split between the votes whether you like license X and the question whether you're allowing the change of license on your data? After all, I want to have an idea *how much* of the data will still be there after the second vote. If it turns out that any data from someone who gave his approval would be deleted, then count me as no vote. * I still have no response to the question what would happen with my data if it's derived from someone who doesn't give it's approval for a license change. The second person could be tracing yahoo images and later someone else added all the names after a lot of work on the ground. So he can only see the removal of his work. And how are you going to check that anyway? You can do lots of things with CC-BY-SA data (copying, splitting, merging) where it's impossible to My understanding is for example that if you split a way, there's not a single connection between the two parts of the way telling that one derived from the other. And what with the countless relations? If there's one way added to it by someone that didn't give approval, the only thing you can do is remove the relation as it was derived from CC-BY-SA data. Goodbye to your hundreds of kilometers long routes. * "Website to allow users to voluntarily agree to new license. Design allows you to click yes, or if you disagree a further page explaining the position and asking to reconsider as there may be a requirement to ultimately remove the users data. This will help stop people accidentally clicking 'no'. Sign up page now states you agree to license your changes under both CCBYSA and also ODbL." Question: how's that not pushing the new license onto the mappers?
