Sorry to keep pushing so hard on this, but why delete map data
unnecessarily? Why delete MY data unnecessarily?
The first question you ask here I can take as serious: good one, and
IMHO you're right, I cannot say, why the OSMF don't want to count data
from users declaring PD as "clean".
Your second question on the opposite is different. I don't like to, but
I would agree to delete your data as you are very well aware of the
license change.
I think, it is/was okay to say no to the license change, and probably it
would have been better to distingt between "I vote for the license
change" and "I agree my data to be licensed under the new license" in
the time we voted for or against the change.
But now it's different. I'm sure nobody will tell you later, you turned
around and would be pro ODBL. You have stated clearly that you are not.
But as you declare your data to be PD nothing prevents you from ticking
the box and agreeing to the ODBL and CT for your (old) data.
The only argument against doing it is IMHO the childish "but with
agreeing I vote for the license change". This is probably true with the
wording chosen, but as the license change - sorry to say that to you -
is decided, you are not in the position to decide for or against the change.
But you are in the position to keep your data in OSM or to delete it.
It's up to you, not to anyone else.
For users we could not contact in the past months, the question might be
slightly different, but that has nothing to do with active users like
you, who are aware of and who willingly oppose to keep their data in OSM
over the change.
