Re: [OSM-legal-talk] list of user IDs having accepted the contributor terms
Any info on who, or at least what percentage of people, clicked on the "all my edits are public domain" checkbox? Just curious.

So: the VGI is selling those OLD prints and they have still an copyright on reproduction of those papers, BUT NOT THE CONTAINED DATA !!! The fact that the new countries have institutes that create their own maps has nothing to do with the copyright on existing VGI map data. (Map making is not exclusively a government task, as anyone working on OSM should know.) There are only two possibilites: Either VGI still owns the rights to the maps they created, or the rights were transferred to the new countries. In either case, you cannot use the data without permission. I agree that it is a grey zone, but who will say that its illegal?

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] list of user IDs having accepted the contributor terms
If the contributor terms change, will there be two separate lists kept, or does the list get reset, or what?

Hi, Anthony wrote: If the contributor terms change, will there be two separate lists kept, or does the list get reset, or what? No, the will not be reset. If the terms should be changed, then we will have two groups of contributors, one having agreed to terms "A" and one having agreed to terms "B". As long as any future action by OSMF is within the intersection of "A" and "B" - and this is what it would have to be -, it does not matter who signed which. All suggestions that I have heard of were about narrowing down the contributor terms, i.e. "B" would be a subset of "A", so that the intersection of both would always be "B".
