Yes, absolutely. The really obvious example of this is the Polish UMP data, which was licensed CC-BY-SA and could not be kept post-licence change. If dedicated accounts had been used, removing this data would have been relatively easy; in reality, it has been (and continues to be) a nightmare. :( So although I understand the motivation behind sly's suggestion that "In the case of regionaly limited imports (inside a country), it is highly recommanded to get in touch with the local community to discuss your planned import and ask them if you should, shouldn't or must use a dedicated account", this approach has proved problematic in the past and I would caution against repeating the same mistake. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Import-guidelines-proposal-update-tp5726210p5726241.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
