[OSM-legal-talk] Is an object created by a non-agreer always tainted, even if all info has been deleted/changed by agreers?

What is the consensus on the legal status of an object that has been created by a non-agreer, but all of the nodes and all of the tags have been deleted/changed by agreers? i.e.: 1) Non-agreer creates a way with tags 'name=A' and 'highway=tertiary', and 3 nodes (with no tags). 2) An agreer
