The poll contains the three original questions which will be asked to all contributors if the new license is approved by the OSMF: - yes - yes and consider all my data PD - no Then I added two more questions for those who would say 'no', for this part of the public who feels that they have a 'gun on the head' because they don't agree with the Odbl. Then I added two options to give them a chance to explain why they would say 'no'. A general remark about the 'crappy poll'. As I said, it is true that is is not a reliable poll. But the OSMF never tried to reach the 99% of the community which is never writing on this talk-list. A more serious poll can only be organized by the OSMF because they know the list of contributors, their emails and could manage the single replies like it will be for the final vote. Of course, it will not avoid the fact that some contributors will create a special account just to fake the result , but this will be also true for the real vote. But the OSMF never tries to reach those who are not reading the talk-lists or watching the forums. How many times have we seen a call for a simple question about the new license on the diary or on the main site page or on the header on all wiki pages ? Never. The community will have to reply to the simple question just at the end of the process with the threat that their contributions will be removed if they refuse and the unfair reply "why did you not participate earlier in the debats when it was the time for it ?". So, I would thank the approx. 300 who participated to the 'crappy poll'.
