This is a final call for comments by readers of legal-talk for feedback on the brief and the use cases.
The Brief - Does anyone strongly disagree with any aspects of the brief? Are there any ways we could make it stronger and better? If so can we hear about the issues in the next few days so we can try to accommodate them? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Open_Data_License#A_brief_for_the_pr oposed_licence Use Cases - I have added some new Use Cases, and reworded some of the existing use cases to use a standard style throughout, normally starting with the phrase 'The licence should allow'.. Or 'The licence should not allow'. Does anyone strongly object to any of the Use Cases and there interpretation. Can we know about that in the next few days? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Open_Data_License I suggest that we next put together a project plan to bring the licence elegantly into life and sort out what needs to be done, by when and by whom to achieve that? I will add a proposed task-list to the wiki when I next have a chance and we can then refine it and then pick up individual tasks. There will be consensus building tasks (on Talk, talk-de and other local and specialist talk lists); legal tasks (to codify the licence), there will be technical tasks (seeing who needs to be contacted in each area, see what data is at risk in any particular area, to allow people to accept the new terms and see their data becoming 'safe'), and finally there will be outreach tasks (to get buy in from individual contributors in each area, in particular from major contributors who are not on talk to increase the amount of safe data). Finally there will be a painful technical task to remove 'non-safe' content. None of the above will be easy, but it is getting harder the longer we fiddle because the community is growing and more and more contributors will be drifting out of contact.
