</div>I neglected to address those who don't respond either way in my<br>
earlier reply but I'd expect to treat their contributions with the<br>
same care as the decliners.<br>
<br>
80n have you presumed I had malice where I only failed to address a<br>
sub-question? Thanks.<br>
<br>
I don't see where David suggested anything that would deserve your<br>
ire, either.<br>
<br>
Even if you disagree with what either David or I said, you would paint<br>
the entire OSM project with your loss of respect and shame, rather<br>
than engaging in the discussion? I'm not sure I see what it is that<br>
you are reacting to in such a visceral way.<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div>Richard, I'm pleased to hear that you are prepared to respect the wishes of those who do not want to re-license their work. The best way to do this would be to create an ODbL licensed fork and leave us in peace.<br>
<br>But, since some people have chosen the harder path of trying to change the license in-situ, I'm sure you'll join me in calling for a vote of all contributors. The gun-to-the-head, "we'll delete your data if you don't agree" approach is not something that garners any respect from me.<br>
