You are not waiving your right to have a say with the new CT. You are waiving your right to have a veto. I can't name a single mapper important enough to have one of those. > 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. No, we've never had democracy prior to CT. What we've had is a situation where any one mapper may erect a barrier to whatever decision needs to be made. CT replaces this with democracy requiring a 2/3 majority of active mappers. Those mappers do not have to be OSMF members as your comments above suggest. Have you actually read the CT?
