The removal process was never thought through properly. OSM will be stuck with CC-BY-SA content for a very very long time. Expecting the crowd to go and re-map stuff wholesale, for somebody else's benefit is just absurd, it's never going to happen. Mapping is addictive but pointless mapping is no fun at all. So the only recourse is to do bulk deletions. But I don't see anyone hurrying to write the software to do that even if anyone could agree on what it should actually do. > ** > > I think the decision to block my account and that of many**** > > others has been a bit premature, and the community**** > > should reconsider their decision.**** > > ** ** > > Especially now it looks as if the OdBl will never make it**** > > for legal and practical reasons. > True. > **** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > Gert Gremmen**** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > -----------------------------------------------------**** > > [image: Osm]**** > > Openstreetmap.nl (alias: cetest)**** > > P* Before printing, think about the environment.* **** > > ** ** > > _______________________________________________ > legal-talk mailing list > legal-talk@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk > >
