Lots of things are central to OSM, like tagging, licensing, import issues, geodata standards, usability and quality, editing conventions, database issues, etc. And it's precisely the number of varied topics that are important to OSM why we have specialized mailing lists: dev, legal-talk, tagging, etc. There are many people who are sick and tired of seeing email about licenses and that's why they're on talk, not legal-talk. So if you want to discuss license issues, then take the time to subscribe to legal-talk and then unsubscribe when you are satisfied and never (hopefully) be bothered again about it. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
