The complete lack of any arguments left in the brains of the pro-ODbL lobby shows in the complete falling apart of any discussion on this list, with previously thoughtful people concentrating on personal attacks on others, mostly claiming that they are making personal attacks.
So 1. From where does OSMF get the mandate to choose the licence? OSMF mandate is to own and run the servers . I got that from the OSMF website. 2. Why is a vote among ~300 people binding on a community of ~300,000 contributors, of whom ~12,500 are active mappers. 3. Why does the OSMF use the advice of a lawyer who was party to writing the ODbL? I see there the biggest conflict of interest in the project. Good legal advice is independent, and the price should not involved in determinign whether it is good or bad. 4. How much data loss is acceptable to the pro-ODbL lobby? 5. When will the tools be available to see how much data worldwide will be removed? - on a world map, not a diagram. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
