When I signed up in the first place, I was required to say "I accept having my data placed under the CC-by-SA license", but, unlike the new license, I was not required to waive my right to have a say in any future license change. The OSMF is replacing democracy with oligarchy, so that, in the future, no mappers except the tiny fraction who are members of the OSMF will have a say in any future license change, such as changing over to charging for the use of map data. -- John F.
