West Mids mappers... If you haven't logged into your OSM account or done any editing recently you may be unaware of the forthcoming proposed licence change for OSM. A major part of that process is to sign up to new contributor terms.
If you have not logged into OSM recently could you please do so and decided whether you wish to accept the new contributor terms or not. Personally I encourage you to do so though I appreciate it's your choice. Its important to make a decision so that data you have already contributed can be left in or removed as required should the change in licence go ahead. The link below shows is centred on Brum and highlights in red those ways in the map data where contribution is from someone who has declined the new terms (almost zero thankfully). Green means all contributors for a given way have agreed and blue means one or more are undecided (user hasn't agreed or declined yet). The other hues are various in-between states where an object has seen many editors of it over the last 6 years of OSM. See below the map for the key. http://osm.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/map/?zoom=13&lat=52.48479&lon=-1.89151&; layers=B0 The map shows plenty of green for the west mids which is excellent, that's principally because the major contributors have already agreed to the new terms.
