I used to create government procurements, big messy ones where sales guys
would hit the prime minister's office to protest and get fired fifteen
minutes after a debriefing when they lost.  When dealing with potential
problems from egos I always found it very helpful to build a list of
requirements that were linked to business requirements first.

At the moment I couldn't do that for OSM because I'm not certain what we are
trying to do.  Are we just having a social gathering on a Sunday afternoon
for a walk or cycle with our GPS devices or are we building maps that will
be useful to people?

Which is most important?  Because it affects what business we are in and I
suspect we are in two main camps trying to do different things and until we
can agree what we are trying to do trying to make decisions about the
license issue is irrelevant.
