Richard, I'll let sleeping dogs lie for the while as said user has normally conducted themselves with personal courtesy to all. I hold my breath that I have got entirely the wrong end of the stick and an August mass deletion of abutters tags, carefully ground recorded and entered when such things showed on the map, is meant to be replaced with imagery landuse digitisation :-) >cheers >Richard > >(Rather coincidentally, this was published today: >http://mimiandeunice.com/2011/01/06/ownership/ ) What a beautifully apt cartoon! I almost wish that Tobias Knerr's words earlier in this thread were my own: "The Contributor Terms are clearly based on the idea that we are building a database together. It's not just several people's maps sitting next to each other, it's a collective effort, with no clear separation between "my data", "your data" and "their data". As a consequence, aspects such as the license are subject to collective, not individual, decisions." _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
