http://openstreetmap.org/user/terms Supposedly it sends you to this flippant page if you decline the CT: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributor_Terms_Declined "If you have reached this page because you declined the OpenStreetMap contributor terms, that's too bad. We're sorry that you have decided to not accept the OpenStreetMap Contributor Terms. That means that you can not contribute data to OpenStreetMap." It would have been good for the dust to settle on CT acceptance by data owners before moving to Phase 3: Are they compliant with the spirit and letter of CC-BY 2.5/3.0 Attribution AU? (then the Australian Government data issue is solved?) If not why not; are data owners giving up something that they previously had and intended when they licensed their data? Is it just about the level of attribution? That would be a lot easier to get clarified than trying to get a whole new suite of licences approved.
