The OSMF-membership vote *was* about moving to the ODbL and the (older version of) CT. Outcome: 98% of voters in favor of the proposed change, 2% against. During the time of the OSMF-membership vote, there was also a vote initiated by the community, which can be seen here: http://doodle.com/feqszqirqqxi4r7w Outcome: 75% would accept the new license, 11% undecided, 14% not (at that time) There has been similar polls by the community during that time with similar results. Both (the vote and the poll) show a large majority in favor of the proposed change. Again: ODbL combined with CT. This was done *before* all the new sign-ups were asked to sign the CT. Based on this outcome of the membership-vote the process to change the license was continued. The polls in the community were no reason to change this decision. Cheers, Henk
