I'm thinking that we should modify the agreement that people make when
they sign up. It should read something like this:
By creating an account, you agree that all work uploaded to
openstreetmap.org and all data created by use of any tools which
connect to openstreetmap.org is to be (non-exclusively) licensed under
this Creative Commons license (by-sa). or under the ODbL. If you
choose not to give us your email address, or your email address stops
working, you waive all right to ownership of your edits.
Should we, God forbid, need to change the license ever again, or make
any other kind of legal change, we have a defensible legal position
for those people whose edits have, or become, anonymous.
