I misunderstood your objection. My understanding of the current policy is that a contributor does permit OSMF to use a different (future) licence. That is the reason for the perpetual licence. If all that was needed was that OSMF could use the data under the existing licence, then you could have a CT just like the old CT's. NB: I don't have a view on this at all and am not trying to influence policy. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
