Dear Ben, On License Working Group calls recently, we've discussed a method for contributors to mark their changesets. If implemented, you could accept the CTs, mark those of your changesets that should not be promoted to ODbL, and add a tag to them such as "AU gov. CC-By-SA" or something else that indicates the nature of the problem with the data. We've looked at this possibility with a user case like yours in mind. Is this a change that you would support? The extra step of tagging the data to say why it should not be promoted helps during the license change process. Should, for example, the UK OpenGov license be applied to the Ordnance Survey Streetview data and the OGL be declared acceptable, that data would not have to be removed during changeover. Also, large groups of changesets with similar issues, can be given additional attention for negotiation with the publisher. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
