Personally I feel that it is unfortunate that we're allowing people to remain "undecided" for so long. Had 80n properly disagreed when he was first asked, his edits could long have been re-created by now. By holding out, he's in the position of being able to discount anyone touching his edits as a vandal, or someone making unnecessary work for themselves, as acting prematurely, or whatever, all the while hinting at "maybe I'll still agree, I haven't said it you know".

I, for one, have politely notified the major "undecided" contributors in my area that I will count their "undecided" as a "no" and start remapping their stuff in January, and frankly I would appreciate OSMF/LWG to set a date well before the planned license changeover and clearly say: If you haven't decided until then, that's a no.

Because we gain nothing from major contributors holding out until the very last day and then, smilingly, tell us "you know what, I've decided to disagree after all". That's four winter months wasted when they could have been perfectly well used for averting damage.

Bye
Frederik
