Steve, I think he wanted to point ironical situation that you claim that CC-BY-SA doesn't work. So, it doesn't work, there are workarounds, let's use this workaround to relicense everything to ODbL :) Anyway, you can call him a troll, but I agree I so far haven't heard sound arguments why CC-BY-SA "doesn't work" and what "work" actually means. Doesn't work for Cloudmade? Doesn't work for community? Doesn't what? And please, don't refer to old mailing list posts, explain it in your words, because it is different disscussion and different situation. Otherwise it really sounds like pushing change by someone who are spent too much time in legal-talk. And we know what legal-talk does to the people. Laws aren't physics, get over it. They will never be clean and shut. Cheers and good luck, Peter. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
