Agreed this is not super welcoming but you said that your user name was "ilja" and that you were "long time active" which at least superficially seems to conflict with the 0 edits in the user account. Explaining in which other ways you were active when you didn't edit OSM would have helped to avoid this misunderstanding. The idea that some editing experience is advantageous for a successful import is not Joachim's invention; e.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines says: "1. Gain familiarity with the basics of OpenStreetMap, including editing, such as adding details of your neighbourhood." > ... actually not. Thank you, I won't do anything in this respect. Well the main point of Joachim's message was that at least from the public statements on the web site, the data is not legal for importing to OSM. You make it sound as if this would have been a perfectly good import that sadly cannot go ahead because you were not welcomed enough. But if the data isn't legal to import then all the welcoming-ness and politeness in the world won't help make the import a success. Do you have reason to believe that there is a legal avenue to import the data, or had you overlooked the license terms and do now agree that the data cannot be imported?
