I've been asked ONCE. I formally voted in an OSMF poll very few were in that poll compared to the thousands not in the poll and you cannot claim that you have made even an attempt at asking the community what they want. How many people do you really think you have asked? Remember that some will have been asked more than once. Now that is you numerator, now count the denominator. This might be 'all contributors, ever', or 'contributors active in the last x months', or some other denominator, and then honestly decide if you have polled enough contributors to provide a fair answer. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-t...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
