There are at least a few users who have disagreed to ODbL but are ok with PD (or CC0).
From phase 4 on we only allow people to edit if they have agreed to the CT, so we'd definitely have to disable the account of that user. But since his data is available under PD, I don't see a reason why we should remove the data at all.
Currently in our user table in the database we have information about whether the user has agreed to CT and whether he has additionally clicked the PD checkbox. It would be possible, from a database point of view, to set the PD option without setting the "agreed to CT" field. We should do this manually for those users who haven't agreed. In all other aspects they would be treated like someone who hasn't agreed (could not continue to edit etc.) but the PD flag would indicate to us that when it comes to deleting data we don't have to delete that person's data.
In addition to the publicized "users_agreed.txt" and "users_not_agreed.txt" files we'd also have to have a "users_pd.txt" file so that thrid-party services like all those coloured maps or editor plugins could know that data edited by that person is clean even though they have not agreed.
I think your suggestions are entirely too complex. Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [email protected] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
