[OSM-talk] Summary of differences between old and new licenses

2010-07-18 Thread John F. Eldredge
Is there a summary available, in layman's language, of the differences between 
the old license and the proposed new license?  I am still a bit unclear on the 
net effects, other than a sizable amount of the data being moved from the OSM 
database to a different database.

There is the page linked to from the banner at the top of the wiki pages:
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License

or are you looking for more detail?

Cheers
