It's quite simple: I object to the OSMF using what I consider to be very misleading statistics in communication on the ODBL process. Michael Collinson's message can be interpreted as saying that 0.2% of users haven't accepted the new contributor terms. I point out that a more reasonable way of presenting the data is that between 40 and 55% (depending on the region) of users haven't accepted the new contributor terms.
So you decided to counter with your own misleading statistics by talking about 200K people not having agreed?
Whilst technically more or less accurate (the real number is 216170 right now) it is misleading because only 40% of those users have ever made any edits to the data.
To inject some actual hard data into the conversation, here are some actual numbers, straight from the database:
Users with edits who have agreed: 96917 Users without edits who have agreed: 104663 Users with edits who have not agreed: 86764 Users without edits who have not agreed: 129406 Changesets by users who have agreed: 7229801 (85.5%) Changesets by users who have not agreed: (14.5%) Edits by users who have agreed: 1814899992 (89.2%) Edits by users who have not agreed: 218756288 (10.8%) Hope that helps, Tom -- Tom Hughes ([email protected]) http://compton.nu/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
