1. It is, in my eyes, far from clear what exactly the community will vote on (will it be the ODL? what will the ODL look like by the time?) 2. It is also far from clear who will "vote" and how this voting will look like. Who will be eligible? Etc. What happens if the project splits as a consequence of the license change, and the community in one sub-project gives it the license A and the community in the other sub-project gives it the license B? Unless all this is clear to the person signing up, they'll have a very hard time finding out what exactly they agree to by signing up - and we have a very hard time telling them that without creating the impression that we don't give a damn for the community process because we know what the outcome will be anyway! > Because there are so many users signing up that every day it gets > harder to go back and pull out data if a change is made. Very well. I suggest to ask everybody to sign up for PD because this makes sure that their work is not lost to the project. Sounds easiest to me. Those who don't do that will be included in the general license change E-Mail process later.
