What about regional differences? How are we going to look at a region (geographic or political) and decide firstly who 'represents' that region (mappers or residents) and then who can decide that losing X% of data in a region is acceptable? Example If Europe as a map stays intact will we be concerned if [earthquake region] is lost because it was traced from photography whose licence does not let it proceed under the new licence or terms and conditions? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
