Acting on your advice I accepted the new CT. On looking more deeply into the subject I note that I have retrospectively allowed OSM to license anything I have ever added to the map in any way they wish. Currently it is odbl but the CT allows anything, the license seems to be an ever changing

1.  deleting the data for the reasons you've stated with the comment bicycle_rental bixi is anti-social and deceptive. At least put a comment in saying what your doing. 2. People should NOT be pre-maturely deleting their own non ct-terms data from the map.  Some day in the future OSM will

No at the time the data was added there wasn't a problem. The problem arose when the new CT retroactively changed the previously inserted data. Cheerio John On 6 June 2011 18:30, Gordon Dewis gor...@pinetree.org wrote: What should John do? John should accept the fact that the data he has

Well, not sure what to say, John. You've deleted stuff that I've worked on without my consent, so there's a problem. If the features you had deleted were still v1 that you had added, I could see an argument in support of what you've done, but many of the features appear to be v1 with more than
