No, the total opposite. We only found out about some of the implications of certain use cases, and how it makes some use a bit easier, when we sat down with Jordan in a cafe and threw around ideas and scenarios. Please don't try to question OSMF board members motivations, it's a bit cheap and they're spending their free time trying to help. have fun, SteveC | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.asklater.com/steve/ _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/legal-talk
