this isn't correct. to recover the full history of an element all authors who have contributed to it will have to agree. for more details, please see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Backup_Plan#Marking_elements_.22OK.22 > So if your uploads are based on other authors who will reject > the new licence, the data will remain anyway if "you, the last > contributor in the history of this element" accepts the new licence. > If you think that you could accept the new licence but not in these > conditions, you might select the option "no, I will not accept the new > license Odbl but I will if the license is reworked" and add some > comments below. if you're in the US you could also accept the new license on Anthony's (as far as i can tell, correct) interpretation, which is that factual data doesn't gather copyright protection. cheers, matt _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
