Well we do seem to have cases with a PD statement, were the data is
in fact<br>
(potentially) encumbered and the mapper probably actually wanted to
apply the <br>
statement only to the data which he originally created and his
edits. See TimSCs<br>
wiki page for a mapper
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:TimSC">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:TimSC</a>) that <br>
realized that and tries to fix it.<br>
<br>
And now the OSMF is supposed to second guess what all the mappers
with <br>
similar statements really intended to say?<br>

It
would be easier to argue that some long click-through
agreement was unread
or misunderstood. An explicit statement that you have
included on
your wiki page that your edits are unencumbered, in the public
domain and
freely available for any use is pretty convincing to me.</font></tt>

assist
in contributing to OSM. I don't think anything I have agreed
to in the
CT prevents me from using other's PD contributions
incorporated with mine,
and I'm currently quite comfortable in that position.</font></tt>
