Basically all you are saying is that mailing lists are a bad way to measure support. And I agree 100%. Can you can prove that the average contributor thinks that the average contributor thinks that the benefits* of the ODbL exceeds the cost of implementing it** ? Then I will personally start telling people that they are in the minority and should go away. *: Looking at whitehouse.gov, the software on my phone etc, I can't see a single thing that will change (either positive or negative). **: To implement it, we will have to delete some data. We are bothering people by sending them email and if they do not respond, we use facebook etc. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
