I think it was added a while back. I mostly use josm. I like the license
check plugin. It seems easier to use than potlatch which seems to
highlight every possible license issue. With josm you just click on an
item on the list, right click to "zoom to problem" on the node. Then I
usually clean up all of the items near by. When your done with all the
items the area is clean.
The plugin gives three categories of license issues, Data Loss, Possible
Data Loss, and Harmless Data Loss. I've been concentrating of the first
category. There are so many Data Loss nodes that I'll never get done by
the time the bot starts running. (Even if its another couple of months!)
josm has more of a learning curve, but better features, cutting and pasting
for example. I haven't figured out how to assign actions to a key yet. I
have been adding turning circles and pedestrian cross walks as I happen on
them. It would be nice to be able to hit a key to add a turning circle to
the end of a way.

I have promised to cut down on my swearing and drinking, which I have.
Unfortunately, this has left me dim-witted and nearly speechless. Adapted
from *The Lion* by Nelson DeMille
-or-
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
