Well, since the contributor terms are an agreement made as a contributor, one is not necessarily making any statement about the compatibility of OS open data - one could lie, or think its fine, or simply take a pragmatic view that current licenses are fine and someone else can worry about it further down the line if and when it becomes a problem, with a reasonable assumption that the OSMF aren't going to sue (I assume that's who the agreement is made with?). cheers, Henry _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
