Replace "author" by "last modifier", and it will be closer to reality. I don't consider myself as an author when I contribute to OSM. I'm adding data in a database, and these data are factual ones, not things I created with my imagination. All together we're pushing the project forward like ants building a huge ant-hill. Now that we are in the ODbL logic, all the history of object is there to allow tracing, not to give attribution to individuals. > This all is contrary to attribution OpenStreetMap demands for itself on > every occasion. It is an attribution to the ant-hill as a group. -- Christian Quest - OpenStreetMap France - http://openstreetmap.fr/u/cquest _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
