Indeed. I assure you that I'm keener that you to allow my contributions to be kept. I want to be able to continue contributing to OSM, and I don't want my hard work to go to waste. This issue of ODbL+DbCL compatibility is actually irrelevant as far as my CTs issue is concerned, provided the clarification suggested by Mike [1] is adopted. Under that, you only have to agree that your contributions are compatible with the current license -- which is CC-By-SA -- and there's never been a compatibility issue there. So I'm still just waiting for the CTs clarification to be officially adopted by OSMF. From some recent email correspondence with Steve C, it seems that the OSMF board aren't particularly aware of the CTs issue. So the best way for clarification I'm seeking to come would probably be for LWG to issue a statement, and then the OSMF board to simply endorse it. There's a draft statement in the LWG minutes a few weeks ago [2]. I wonder if LWG got round to approving this at their most recent meeting... Robert.
