Did you accept the license change? If you did, someone else may have done larger changes to your work or may have removed and replaced it with something else (but you didn't notice). Or the redaction bot may have had some error... I didn't read about the redaction being run until yesterday, as I spent last week in hospital and also had some very busy weeks before. I'm not happy about it myself, but at some point it had to be done and it didn't come unannounced. I live in Berlin, Germany and some bigger spots went missing here as well but surprisingly it's not that serious and mostly can be easily repaired. Details (like ATMs, banks, bars, ...) are harder to replace than streets, parks and buildings but maybe it's not bad as those details may have been needing an update anyway. I already fixed some minor objects yesterday that went missing around the hospital I was in and may re-add some more stuff today. I suppose, the larger damage (parks, sights, main roads) will be repaired quickly. If I think back at how Berlin looked in OSM only a few years ago and how fast it improved, the wound inflicted by license redaction may look severe but will heal fast enough. What OSM lost for the moment is mainly commercial usability. In my opinion, every project or company using OSM data should have been advised to temporarily freeze their databases before redaction began, but I don't know if that happened. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
