Everything works well in theory :) Anyway Brendon and I spoke on the phone for almost an hour, and there might be a compromise that doesn't require any input from OSM-F to make it work. If we can get people making editors to add tags to changesets based on your license preference then any PD data, even if it's changed later to become ODBL, can be collected. Alternatively you can just add a license=[PD|ODBL] to the changeset when you upload it, original I thought to add this to every way/node/relation, but the changeset might be good enough, as long as the code collecting only PD data figures out what is new, or only what is edited from existing PD data. I'm planning to add a feature enhancement request to JOSM based on this, but would be interested in what others think of it. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
