No, that is not debatable and neither is the second rate attribution Richard mentioned that many corporate data users use. If we collectively as a community want to be taken seriously by data users we have to stop negotiating with them about our license. We have to communicate clearly what we require data users to do. If there is a majority in the community who think that the ODbL is just a pro forma thing and that we are so happy about anyone using the data that we don't dare voicing any requirements beyond the level of a "pretty please" that is fine. I don't have the impression though that is actually the case and if it was that would be more or less "suicide out of fear of death". This is what can and should be debated - not what level of weaseling around the ODbL is still acceptable. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
