[OSM-legal-talk] "We Are Changing The License" missing relevant information

2010-10-25 Thread Tobias Knerr
I just answered a user's question on how to accept the new contributor
terms. I'll quote his statement here:


''How do we accept the new licence??'' JOSM sent me here but I cannot
find a way to accept the licence.
This is ''bad'' as I dont want my edits to be dropped.


It's a valid issue: The page "We Are Changing The License" -
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License -
advertises accepting the license, but does not mention how to do so. And
a prominent link to it has been added to JOSM's startup page a while
ago, so it will be the landing page for a lot of users unfamiliar with
the license change.

The page is part of the OSMF wiki, so I'm unable to update it. Can
someone please add that information?

Oh ... and while you are at it, why not update the "(TODO: add more on
what this means)" section, too?

Thanks,
Tobias Knerr
