In case you're misinterpreting my request: I want future edits to be subject to the same terms that I was editing under before ticking the CT flag. I'm not disputing that edits over the last few months are subject to the new CTs, though I'd be a lot happier if we acknowledged that I made a mistake, and pretended it never happened. (To answer your question: it would depend a lot on the circumstances. In some cases, you just remove their data and carry on. In others, you leave their data in, and carry on. I don't think the attitude of "well you licensed it open, so it's ours now forever more!" -- which I have occasionally elsewhere -- is helpful or respectful. I would also reiterate that constantly reminding users of what licence they are contributing under reduces the chance of this happening, and weakens their claim if it does.) > Out of interest here is the history of project's contributing terms... > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Database_License/Contributor_Terms/History > > PS: Your email to LWG was received, but we have not yet had a chance > to discuss and respond. We meet again next Tuesday. Thanks, I wasn't expecting an instant response. It's a weird situation.
