I don't think Gert should have used the word 'hijack'. But I also don't know why you three compare the license change to ordinary democratic processes. It's much closer to what's been happening in the Arab States this year: People opposed to the license change have been voicing their discontent for 2 years now. And Steve and some other directors keep responding to it. So the basis for the discontent must have merit. And it's clogging up our main communications channel (talk). A modern democratic government would have found a way to defuse the situation long ago. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
