Re: [Talk-GB] GB License Change Readiness

2012-01-15 Thread Bogus Zaba
Sorry to ask such a naive sounding question in this thread where there 
are clearly many involved who know *a lot about the subject, but I am 
left rather unsure about what we mean when we say that we need to do 
some re-mapping of nodes and ways which are in danger of removal when 
only contributions from new licence acceptors is allowed in the OSM 
database.


Seems to be one of two processes (in order of decreasing level of effort 
required):


1. Delete the features contributed by the non-acceptor. Replace with 
brand new feature from either gps survey or from acceptable 
imagery/mapping sources or combination. If I understand correctly then 
if the non-acceptor is the author of version 1 of the feature, then this 
will result in loss of all subsequent history as well, so that we will 
essentially have version 1 of a new feature and no trace of the previous 
feature.


2. Review the history of the feature. Decide if, even though the 
original contribution was from a non-acceptor, enough has been done by 
other licence-accepting contributors that the feature no longer belongs 
to the original contributor. If this is the case, tag with odbl=clean 
and forget about it.


My question is : Are both of these approaches acceptable from a 
legal/ethical perspective and will they both work (ie will both result 
in features that will make it into the database following Apr 1st?


For features in my local area (NE Wales) I and others with local 
knowledge could clearly follow either or both of these approaches, but 
(2) is obviously less time-consuming and preserves much more of other 
people's hard work.

Hi Matt

Peter is unlikely to accept the new CTs but has not yet declined.
Blackadder has emailed him recently but not got a response. Peter was very
active and has contributions all over the West Midlands from various
mapping parties so it would be a shame to lose his contribution but I'm not
optimistic. Wherever I come across his contributions I'm just remapping them

2012-01-10 Thread Michael Collinson
Thanks, I was able to use  http://osm.virtuelle-loipe.de/history browser 
successfully.  It took me 21 minutes to analyse manually but that could 
be sped up by putting the declined/undecided/accepted status next to the 
user in the first results view, (am emailing author Langläufer). I guess 
it should also be possible to build an automated relation-status viewer 
fairly easily(?).


Conclusion: The way was created by an accepted user and tagging is 
slightly refined but always by an accepted user.  One way has been added 
by a declined user ... this is the only tainting.


Question: Am I right in thinking that a general rule emerges that this 
and similar relations can be marked odbl=clean ... member additions are 
irrelevant, during a database re-build, the addition of the way is going 
to be detached when that way (rather than the relation) is processed?

I'd just like to add that one of the top contributors down as declined is 
actually undecided due to Ordnance Survey OpenData compatibility concerns, not 
sure why he's down as declined, whether that was a mistake on his part.

I've emailed him to get him to decide one way or the other, but as I said his 
*only* concern is whether OS OpenData is compatible with the new licence.

As said before I'm agnostic on this issue, but I'm extremely keen not to have

Personally, I am still working to find a way forward so that OSM can
remain compatible with Creative Commons.  I joined OSM to help make a
free Creative Commons (or compatible) map of the world and that
remains my goal.  There are a couple of avenues I am working on which
I'd be happy to talk about by email or face to face.

I had hoped that discussions with the LWG might result in a reasonable
compromise such as continuing to offer CC-BY-SA in parallel with ODbL,
and that I would be able to persuade other pro-CC mappers to support
that too.  But I can't speak for what others will do.

I really don't want to just give up and go home unless every possibility has 
been
exhausted.  It is not too late.

What you really should do is first agree to the Contributor Terms and 
*then* continue working, from within OSM, towards a future compatibility 
with whatever CC license seems most suitable. I think it would be a good 
idea for OSM(F) to take an active role in Creative Commons' 
deliberations leading to their future 4.0 set of licenses provided we 
have the manpower for that.


Holding back your agreement and essentially forcing people to re-map 
those of your contributions they consider valuable - and they will have 
to start with that *now*, not in three months - is not a good basis for 
your future involvement in this process.


I don't think there's anybody here who believes that no CC license will 
ever be suitable for OSM. Personally I would not be surprised if we 
should change to a CC license in two or three years time. The 
contributor terms give us the option of doing that in a relatively 
painless way and without data loss.


For this to happen, we need people in OSM who know about the licenses, 
who care about the project, and who want to help shape its future.


You could be one of them.

Or you could give up and go home.

Frederik

Hi Lester,

http://odbl.poole.ch/great_britain-20111208-20120104-poly.html ? (note 
that this is not rebuilt every day)


and http://odbl.de/great_britain.html for context (rebuilt weekly)

I am just sending personal messages to any undecided (yellow) 
contributor with over 5,000 nodes as your message came in and all 
undecided contributors have had two official OpenStreetMap mailings. 
However, the issue at the moment is that in many cases Undecided = 
Unreachable due to spam filters, no longer valid email addresses, and 
sadly decease or impacity. So we don't know.  Due to privacy 
considerations, that is as far as the License Working Group can go.  I 
hope that the current initiative will reach more due to personal 
knowledge and contact by other UK mappers.


There are also some undecided and declined contributors who are making a 
point but may accept at the last moment. I hope we are sending out an 
equitable signal that this *is* the last moment without shutting the door.


I personally wait a week, i.e. at least one weekend, and then pile in 
and remap what I can.


Mike

 I strongly recommend that first you look at your areas and contact
 undecided mappers via the OpenStreetMap messaging system or directly if you
 know them. Ask if they would not mind logging into their account and
 accepting even if they no longer wish to continue mapping as their previous
 contribution is important to you.


Just a quick note to say I've had a few successes with this, it doesn't
take long and saved me lots of trips to remap little bits of detail all
over inner south east London. Well worth half an hour browsing around your
mapping haunts and contacting people.

Before contacting people, please check the list on the wiki; we don't want
to harass people that have already been contacted by others.

That's what I had not got linked ...
Three of my 'problems' are in the top 11 ;)
I've emailed the lower level hot spots but it will not be that much work to 
clear the rest anyway. Just the top couple which impact a substantial area and 
one decline which has a chunk of work locally but not to difficult to redo.

Re: [Talk-GB] GB License Change Readiness

2012-01-08 Thread Andy
I'm concerned about some of the big relations we have. For example,
National Cycle Network Route 8 (relation 34269). This relation has at
least one user who has declined the CT [1], unfortunately this user's
edit is buried deep in the history of this object. Recreating this
relation from scratch would be a *lot* of work, as it covers lane and
paths across hundreds of miles. It seems like the vast majority of
contributions to this relation are ODBL-clean, but I have no idea how
to make the whole thing clean short of remapping it. Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Andy

There is no chuffing way I am allowing our NCN coverage to go to pot on 1st
April! Least of all Lon Las Cymru (NCN 8):

  Anyone who can spot when Richard Fairhurst goes to Wales...

(It's a terrific route - anyone with a taste for adventure should cycle it.
That and the equally wonderful Pennine Cycleway [NCN68].)

There's two elements to fixing long-distance route relations: the
constituent ways, and the relation itself. First job is to make sure the
ways themselves are ok. You can do that easily with the aid of any editor
(even J***) and Frederik's OSM Inspector, which now offers OpenCycleMap as
background imagery.

After that, the relation itself should be pretty trivial. I'm intending to
write a couple of scripts to help safeguard these relations, but please
don't wait for it; go ahead and remap the constituent ways.

cheers
Richard
