Nobody has claimed that everything leading up to the license changed
was<br>
handled perfectly, with hindsight I would suspect that a couple of
things would <br>
have been handled differently by everybody involved. <br>
<br>
But I have not seen anything that would indicate that the outcome of<br>
any such better (from a formal point of view) process would have
been<br>
different than what we got from what actually happened (ok,
naturally<br>
we would now be arguing over what a valid contributor vote should
have<br>
been 4 years ago, but it would still be arguing over process, not
the result).<br>
<br>
Could we, just perhaps, at last get over the continuous bickering
about stuff <br>
that transpired a long time ago and move on? <br>
<br>
With other words: please get a life.<br>

I have a problem with the OSMF saying it represents OSM. But at
least it does not represent me nor have i seen a formal delegation
of the OSMs future to the OSMF.
So i see multiple problems with the whole relicensing process:
- No legitimation of the OSMF e.g. vote by all contributers
or delegation of powers to the OSMF by the contributers
- No Contributers formal poll or majority to
a) a license change
b) license content
So please dont state that the OSMF represents the contributers. It does not.
And if we see the contributers beeing OSM so the OSMF neither represents OSM.
So even if you disagree on parts you might accept that some of the
contributers feel exspelled from OSM by the OSMF which some of us
feel is a very nebulous foundation which is not really connected to
our daily work but still requests all powers.
