Insurance companies would love this idea :) However, I consider that by accepting Contributor Terms the mapper makes a binding contract with OSMF and that can be changed only if both OSMF and mapper accept it. License can be changed later because that possibility is written in CT but not CTs. Now we have perhaps 20 or 30 thousand contracts with CT 1.0 but apparently in the future contibutors will be asked to accept CT 1.1. What is the plan with those CT 1.0 mappers? Will they just continue to contribute under CT 1.0 or will they be asked to accept CT 1.1 before they can continue? For me the changes between 1.0 and 1.1 look negligible but perhaps having both CT 1.0 and CT 1.1 users could make things even more garbled. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
