At this point it's only known that there's an unspecified non-zero part of the community which wants OSM to switch license. Not everyone needs to be true to that part of the community just like not everyone needs to be true to the part that wants OSM data in Public Domain or the part that drinks coffee with milk etc. Cheers _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
