Hi Richard, First - yes, I agree with your overall point. On the licence change thing, I'm not sure if you're aware, but there's been very little (zero?) discussion of the rebuild activities on the talk@ mailing list, or even legal-talk@. Presumably osmf-talk@ is another story. The first I heard about it was on the maps-l Wikipedia mailing list, of all places. Even osmfoundation.org makes virtually no reference to what is happening, besides the oblique references to "contact and remap" and the unlinked (or at least unfindable) "rebuild plan". So, yes, well done to the people such as yourself, Frederik and others I don't know, who are doing a lot of technical work behind the scenes to make the switch to unencumbered data a reality. Hopefully you may find these observations helpful in understanding the reactions of the broader community. (Translation: We have no idea what's going on.) Against: This isn't a complaint, just an observation. Steve _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
