a person who was happy to contribute under a CC-BY-SA licence would be
unhappy to do so under ODbL, assuming they were able to do so.
The problem occurs because people have one account, with which they do
edits. Some of those edits are likely to come from different sources.
A very good reason why someone wouldnt wish to accept the new terms,
would be that they could have contributed data from different sources.
Dear David,
I realise the question was not addressed to me, but as Richard is asking for
replies here's my views:
Would the ability to differentially mark changesets as "for promotion
to ODbL" and "not for promotion (with a helpful detail)" address this
concern?
Not for me it wouldn't, as its not a question of compatability with ODbL,
but compatability with the proposed CT's whis is the main issue for me.
The intent is to allow those with concerns about some of their data to
mark it, and accept the terms for the data they are confident in.
One imagined implementation would provide a checkbox and textfield for
each changeset. The user then checks and adds comments as required.
Notwithstanding the above, I guess at some stage I may have the opportunity
to revisit all of the 7,700 changesets attributed to me, have a look to see
if each one is compatible with the CT's and ODbL , and then mark it as such.
Just don't expect all of the changesets to be marked that quickly.
However it does at least provide a possible solution. Leaving aside the
technical issues of what happens to areas where I haven't yet got round to
marking a changeset which affects that area, and in the meantime someone
comes along and edits that areas data, and then I subsequently mark my
origonal changeset affecting that area as OK.
David
If this addresses your concern in this case, please let me know. I'll
be happy to summarize the replies during the LWG call in a little over
24 hours. A positive response would be lovely.
