Thanks for revealing this. No idea how you knew about it when nobody else did, but it's good, even vital, that you've brought it out into the open. Whoever you are. I must admit, I don't really understand what it's about, but it's clearly important. -- Steve On 14/02/2016 00:24, Steve Coast

[OSM-talk] license changes

2016-02-13 Thread Steve Coast
Any license change process, or anything remotely close to it, should be open and transparent. It should involve the community from the start and any company that wants to participate too. This is painful, and it takes a long time to do. But it’s the right way to do it. And it’s what we did when

Here's a possibly silly, possibly serious question: who do we trust to keep photos of features? Once I finish gathering my set of photos of NY railroad bridges, where should I upload them so that I can automagically add links to the photos to each OSM bridge=yes way? Flickr? Archive.org? Wikimedia
