 Users may accept the license from their API user account on the settings 
 page.

It would be nice to have this link on this page:
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License

as suggested by Tobias.

cheers,

Done by Richard. Thanks for the feedback.

[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
