I think you are correct - and the OSMF seems to share this position - see the last example of "you DO need to share" on https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines/Horizontal_Map_Layers_-_Guideline and the last example on https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines/Collective_Database_Guideline_Guideline > A Facebook employee, long time OSMer, and fellow candidate for the > OSMF board, answered the same way³. While OSMF board candidates are of course in principle free to state their opinion on any forum of their choosing candidates should realize that doing so on a venue that requires community members to disclose personal data to a third party corporation to be able to participate or even to access the record of such communication is a very strong political statement. Given that only one of this year's board candidates openly states to be working for facebook on their OSM user page - am i right to assume that the person you are talking about is Michal Migurski? -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
