I've had nearly 24 hours to ponder this while on a journey home. These arguments are very familiar, they were on another OSM list as well as this one earlier this month. However, if my memory has not gone bad with Christmas festivities, the same people arguments - except in reverse - when discussing the proposed licence change.
