Item 1, First sentence: "You agree to only add Contents for which You are the<br>
copyright holder ..."<br>
<br>
Item 1, Last sentence: "If You are not the copyright holder of the Contents, You<br>
represent and warrant that ..."<br>
<br>
<br>
These two sentences seem to be contradictory to me. The first sentence implies<br>
you are only allowed to add contents for which you are the copyright holder,<br>
but the last sentence implies that you can add contents for which you are not<br>
the copyright holder, so long as you have permission to do so. Have I misread<br>
one of those sentences?<br>
<br></blockquote><br></div>Simon, if you are creating a new account this means that you cannot upload any content that is not yours and you cannot upload any content that you might have derived from a souce for which you do not have *explicit* permission.<br>
<br>If you are upgrading[1] your account from CC-BY-SA to ODbL+DbCL+CT then you can only do so if you have never already uploaded content which is not yours. You cannot give OSMF rights to your content which you do not have yourself.<br>
<br>80n<br><br>[1] Some people, mostly those who want to exploit the data, would argue that a switch from CC-BY-SA to ODbL is an upgrade. Others, such as myself, would argue that it's a downgrade. Either way, once you've don't it you can't go back.<br>
