Thanks to Paul Norman and the data working group completing some
post-redaction clean-ups, I have been able to send the following
recommendation to the OSMF board. I understand that they will consider
this at their meeting on Wednesday in Tokyo. This, I hope!, will be the
last in a series of checks and balances to ensure that the change-over
process goes in a responsible fashion.
"The License Working Group understands that DWG has completed redaction
runs and believes the live published database to be clean. LWG has also
reviewed a number of cases and is satisfied that the redaction bot
performed correctly and that all issues reported immediately after the
main run have been investigated and properly responded to. It is
therefore our recommendation that the license under which OpenStreetMap
geodata is published be changed from CC-BY-SA to Open Database License
(ODbL) 1.0 as per
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Database_License/Implementation_Plan
Subject to board approval, we request that a date and time be set so
that key documents can be changed. "
