I do understand, that OSM-people will not be responsible for malicious use, possibly death of innocent humans caused by them or their work. But this could be caused also by you, if you buy something and thus support a person, who will be able to harm with that benefit. Thus nobody can really avoid things, that will harm other people in any way. The second thing is, that the military is also involved in humanitarian projects as well (i.e. New Orleans or deescalation projects). There will nobody be able to distinguish, where the good will end and the bad will begin. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
