The probability of collisions is quite small in practice. We are able to automatically sync all OSM updates into fosm.org <http://fosm.org> in near real time. Consequenly fosm.org <http://fosm.org> already has more content than OSM and the gap will continue to widen. It will become a massive gulf if OSM ever has the courage to mass delete all non-ODbL licensed content, but I can't see that happening any time soon.
I opened a new OSM account (for new contributions) when it became clear that the data I'd already entered was in danger of being deleted. As it transpired, I was able to accept the new conditions for my earlier data thanks to Nearmap's resolution of the sticking point.
What particularly turns me off fosm.org is that I am unable to see a map when I go to the site. Using Firefox on Linux, I click on "Maps" and get redirected to http://fosm.org/poly/tah.html#2.00/34.4/-5.9 which is a blank screen for me.
My other two Linux browsers (Arora and Konqueror) come up with a completely blank home page at http://fosm.org/
When I boot into Windows XP, neither Explorer nor Firefox fare any better. What do I have to do to see an fosm map? John H _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
