I think we should provide a track upload facility within JOSM. I started work on that once but got distracted, maybe its time to revisit that. > If the source is > a track log then it really ought to be compulsory to upload that track > log I am very cautious when it comes to compulsory stuff. Such a measure would have "we don't trust our contributors" written all over it. We can *encourage* people to upload their traces, but trying to *force* them will annoy half of them, and the other half will just build themselves a JOSM plugin that synthesizes matching traces for anything you upload. > otherwise we have no way of knowing that the data wasn't derived from > some copyright source. Rather than the contributor having to prove that he's honest, I think the copyright owner should have to prove that the contributor isn't!
