True. Re-reading the message at http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/odc-discuss/2009-March/000026.html, the change request is attributed to the Foundation's lawyer, not to the Foundation itself. However, it is described as "an effort to simplify some of the licensing issues around being able to use a database to produce a work when using other sources", and not as an accident. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
