In my opinion, Except in the process the OSMF is trying to have a special PD grant of all data through the CTs. Which means a future OSM will only accept PD data, yet publish it as a SA license (contract?), (which aims to add additional restrictions upon copyright?, if geodata is free in the US, OSM should be free in the US). I don't like not accepting CC-BY or CC-BY-SA data for use in a project which is publishing attribution-sharealike data...

Once fosm gets a tile server (even a third party one) I'll probably switch. In the meantime I thought osm edits were mirrored across to fosm (though the more fosm gets edited, there will be merge edits, which I'm not sure how fosm will handle.)

Agreed. http://planet.fosm.org/planet/ just seems to have diffs since nov, but no sign of the planet.osm that one starts with before applying these diffs. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
