I don't *think* this will happen very much for the OSM licence change, although some of the big contributed datasets might be affected. It's in the interest of those donors to have the data under an effective licence, though. Excluding the part allowing the Foundation to implicitly introduce new versions of the license might be sufficient for the license to be similar under the definitions of Creative Commons. The similarity requirement is useful but ultimately you need to trust the authors of the licence (and they need to be willing to listen).

Hi, Richard Fairhurst wrote: By all means have an optional _poll_ beforehand among people who care. If 75% of participants in such a (public) poll say cool, let's go ahead with this license then I'd say it's ok to start offering it to mappers. If 75% say I think this needs some more work BEFORE it is launched, not after then it definitely needs work. Hard to say what happens in between. As long as there's any meaningful consultation - i.e. a consultation that at least in theory could lead to the license being sent back to the drawing board, as Andy Robinson put it - I guess I'm ok with it. I was just unsure because if you're looking at it from an evil angle, Mikel's words could be constructed as meaning: We'll simply put a relicense button up on the web page as soon as the lawyers have finished the draft, and while all those mappers that don't have a clue happily relicense, we let the folks on legal-talk discuss everything into oblivion. I have access to a large proportion of mappers in Germany. I have not made any attempt to discuss the license topic at large on the German mailing list because it seemed unnecessary to open up another place where the same stuff is discussed. Before the new license is being offered to mappers, however, I want the draft translated and dissected in the German community so that they, as far as possible, can form an opinion together, as a community. Even if they're not asked to give input but just make up their mind about go or no-go, at least that time is required - BEFORE the license becomes active and BEFORE un-informed mappers may have made a choice they later regret. Reading Mikel's postings, I felt there was a danger that OSMF could attempt to bypass this community opinion forming by offering the new license to mappers as soon as it was published. Such a political maneouvre would have been considered extremely bad style not only by myself. I now see that this was just paranoia on my part. (It is probably even required to translate the license into German before a mapper from Germany can lawfully re-license; otherwise they can always claim they were not clear about what they were signing.)

True that the information is not structured and costs a person putting the information on OSM a bit of surveying across wikipedia. However it wouldn't be available without the effort put by wikipedians into gatherting the information. The usual example is where a WP page for a street in my city contains information such as the street was previously named X Y until date Z and I tag it with old_name=X Y or other information of not so much siginificance. There are also many pages like http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulica_Rzgowska_w_%C5%81odzi where if you click [pokaż] (under the picture box) will show you names of all streets crossed together with which crossings have traffic lights, and even names of interesting objects beside the way with postal addresses which I like to tag too. There's also a local garmin maps project in Poland that predates OSM from where a lot of data has been initially imported. Their page says they suppose their license terms are those of CC-BY-SA although asked on their mailing list they said they weren't interested in cooperation which means they wouldn't agree to relicense unlike concerned wikipedia editors might if I asked them. I'm sure there are other such cases. By the same token, I don't have any qualms about relicensing information that I've found via CC-licensed photos on geograph.org.uk. If I see a photo on Geograph of a road sign pointing west saying Whissendine 5 with a National Byway sign underneath it, I judge that the National Byway follows that road.

Clearly this approach will result in lots of people slamming doors! I cannot imagine people leaving if they agree with the licence, and I cannot imagine people who disagree with the licence staying whether it is announced or voted on. Doors will slam either way. There would be no evidence that the majority of the community agreed with the new license, Unless the majority relicence. There is huge difference between the majority being ask one by one to 'relicense or leave now', and one where we are asked if we support it and then later being asked to accept the majority verdict (which is very likely to be in favour of re-licensing). and there were always be accusations of foul play from the inevitable splinter groups. There will anyway. Quite, which is why due process needs to be seen to be done, then we can just shrug and mutter about not being able to please all the people all the time. Currently people will have a very legitimate reason to complain. To be clear, this must be a 'whole community' vote, not a vote by board members, or even just by foundation members. How will the community be defined and how will irregularities and fraud be avoided? Only contributors to OSM can vote. The vote must be made through the OSM messaging system. One person one vote. And how will a silent majority who don't care about licencing not be represented as a vote against the new licence? Only people who vote will be counted. We must recognise that most people will not be interested and will follow the crowd. I suggest a threshold is set for acceptance as it stands. If that threshold is not met then it isn't necessarily back to square one - it might be possible to come back again with a revised version that meets the concerns, but the clear aim is to get it adopted in one go. I don't think a vote is necessarily a good thing. I do think public review is a good thing, however fed up everyone may be. I am glad you agree on a public review. However given that there will still be vocal opposition even after any number of reviews then how do you propose to gauge the actual level of the opposition and if the new license should be adopted? We can assume that one or two people will make a huge amount of noise on the list and give the impression that there is a lot of opposition when this might not actually be the case.

I try to ask very specific and what I consider are reasonable questions, and ones to which answers should be available however they just get passed over.

However I note from the December board meeting note (published today) that 'there is currently' no hosting option available other than the foundation', so there was an answer available to the question. For the record I could accept the foundation in this role, but only if serious improvements are made to its governance - which are changes we should be making anyway.

In the immediate term, the OSM community kick starts this process by first moving to the first draft of the ODL license. If I find some words in the draft that sound wrong or misleading or unsuitable to me, then if I have details of their deliberations I can decide whether the phrase I dislike is in fact a carefully crafted legal construct that has taken them multiple attempts to get right in a legal sense (in that case I won't even try to touch it), or whether it is just something that was completely overlooked and never even discussed between them (in that case I would perhaps suggest a change). The details of their discussion won't be published. However, there will be ample opportunity for detailed examination and discussion of the further versions. I am also, on a more general level, very interested in getting an insight into the intensity of the exchange. Bluntly spoken, once a draft is produced I want to know whether 100 man-days have gone into that or just 5, which will also influence the respect I (and others) have for the document. A document that is the result of a long and arduous process will command more respect than one produced on a Starbucks napkin ;-) The lawyers are certainly taken this work very seriously.
