Hi all, hi Simon, I tried to wait a day and think about what's been written and to calm down about this unspeakable issue. But I can't stop myself from replying.
I don't mind about the word/trademark GEOCODE, nor do I mind about your wiki changes. But what makes me furious is your/the OSMF's handling of a community project.

It is unacceptable that an issue like this is/should be processed in a private manner when in fact everyone in the community is concerned. Second, I'd like to see the C&D. As a matter of course this should be the first thing that happens: Publish the C&D before any other actions are taken, even before you contact a laywer. I'm really disappointed and angry about this issue. What happens here is not the understanding of a *community project* I have. I'd like the OSMF to become more democratic and community based. It should be the mappers that decide and be able to decide (and thereby I don't mean voting some members every few years) and not the board. Therefore, it would be a great start if OSMF members could file a motion that has to be decided on (mine would be to publish the C&D ;)). I also still hope, Frederik will give a statement in this thread, too.
