Nice straw man, however such responsibility should fall to the OSM-F<br>
since they are the ones instigating such changes, they should be doing<br>
something about this problem, why is it being left up to end users to<br>
try and facilitate the change over?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>public static void main(String[] args) {</div><div> System.out.println("OSM is a community. Perhaps some of the community wants to be proactive about the license change.");</div>

Some code will have to be written at some point to accept explicit<br>
disagreement with the CT, and I'm not the first to complain about this<br>
issue and I doubt I'll be the last so unless you want more emails<br>
about this problem I suggest something be centrally co-ordinated to<br>
deal with it in a more orderly fashion than harassing users constantly<br>
because they haven't agreed with the new CTs.<br>
