If it helps, there _isn't_ anything going on behind the scenes... well, at least not that I know of. Post in German, or French, or whatever, on here if you like - we all have Google Translate, someone will step up to translate manually, and it's a million times better than not posting. Put stuff on the wiki. Ask questions. Vent. Rant. Anything from a misplaced capital in ODbL to a serious doubt about the entire licensing philosophy. Just say it. Far, far better that you speak up and post "I'm worried about this because...", even in Schwabisch dialect if you like, than you sit there in silence thinking "there's this conspiracy to make OSM commercial and I feel left out". Because There Is No Cabal. Look around you - who's organised enough to come up with a conspiracy? If there was a conspiracy they'd be doing it better. But OSM is at heart a disorganised rabble - that's why the communication on the licence issue has been shit, yes, but that's also why we've mapped large portions of the world, because you couldn't organise it better than that. I've said it a million times before but: there is no "you" in this project, there is only "us". Of course, this might be why Steve thinks I'm a filthy communist. If I could cross-post this to talk-de, talk-fr, talk-it and the rest, I would do. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/License-plan-tp22245532p22306472.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
