+1 It's the contributor terms that made me refuse to accept.
Not ODBL. I can see the both the advantages and drawbacks of ODBL but these are not a major problem. For me the CT has been a problem. I principally refuse to sign a contract where I can be held legally responsible for data I contribute for free; where the other party engages itself to nothing at all, not even to take care of the data I contribute. Only on a legally immature medium as internet, where a contract can be signed with a click using a nickname (or that is what we are made to believe) such large number of sheep will accept such a contract. If the community were obliged so sign up with a written signature, OSM would have no contributors anymore.

Onderwerp: Re: [OSM-legal-talk] Please, consider that more people want to mark even their future ODBl OSM contributions as CC-BY-SA compatible On Sat, Jul 28, 2012 at 12:38 PM, Frederik Ramm <frede...@remote.org> wrote: all the problems we had with the license change Lets be clear here, I think the problems is not because of the license change, but the contributor terms , ( the click through license and the mass collection of all IP rights by the OSF). As far as I know the new license is not even in place, the data is being deleted from users who did not agree to give up all rights to the OSMF and allow for the license to be changed at any time. so lets keep the terms clear here, thanks, mike -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://flossk.org Saving wikipedia(tm) articles from deletion http://SpeedyDeletion.wikia.com Contributor FOSM, the CC-BY-SA map of the world http://fosm.org Mozilla Rep https://reps.mozilla.org/u/h4ck3rm1k3
