Of course it isn't. I'm not on the OSMF board let alone LWG; indeed, I actively told OSMF earlier this year that I did not intend to assist it in any way because of my discontent at how the project blog and Twitter feed were being managed. There is no more reason why I should speak for OSMF than for the Venezuelan government, and I have no idea whether or not either OSMF or the Venezuelan government shares any of my views.

I am simply saying that if you wanted to get involved in the decision whether or not to ask users how they would licence their contributions, there was a really simple way to do so: by joining OSMF. Over at Wikipedia they have a phrase: "Assume good faith". It's a good phrase. Please remember it.
