This is disingenuous communication, glossing over the very important issue of how many users have not voted (leading, if this plan goes through, to the deletion of their contributions and of any subsequent edits). Reading odbl.de, 60% of users have accepted the new contributor terms in Europe (40% in the USA, the proportion worldwide is not shown). There 417k users. So (extrapolating) 200k have not accepted the new terms and 190k have accepted. Hopefully the decision on whether to go ahead with the odbl transition will be based on how much data would be deleted, not this kind of misleading statistic. -- Eric Marsden _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
