Hi Ed, "transfer rights to the OSMF"
I believe that this is the (only) critical issue. To be open contributions need to be given freely and without restriction, so as to avoid the current situation where some contributors (with varying agendas) seem to be holding OSM to ransom by threatening not to relicence their contributions. This need to be finalised sooner rather than later so that OSM mapping can recommence. As to which licence we run under, it doesn't matter to me at all, since I believe it should be public domain anyway. I'll leave that for others to bicker about but full rights to the data by the project is essential, in my opinion. Nick
