I was in that frame of thinking 3-6 months ago, but unless something radical occurs in a very short amount of time the damage will be very difficult to over come, each day that passes more long term contributors grow fed up of how the current process has been handled and leave, possibly forever. > It's much better if we a democratic process and settle the license one > and for all.

Currently it seems at present only companies are being listened to. At this point in time, I doubt the situation can be fixed, or even the effect mitigated since the trust in the current board is completely lacking. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
