It's starting to become painfully obvious that OSM-F wouldn't be able<br>
to organise a piss up in a brewery, and there seems to be little or no<br>
chance that they can actually pull off the license change over in<br>
some kind of demotactic, moral and smooth change over so I'm basically<br>
writing them off for all future edits as a complete waste of time.<br>
<br>
A couple of us are toying about with what to do next, <a href="http://fosm.org" target="_blank">fosm.org</a> seems<br>
the most suitable at present since the idea is to continue on with<br>
CC-by-SA licenses, although there is still debate over which CC-by-SA<br>
license due to issues with the European Database Directive, but that<br>
doesn't have any effect on us in Australia until and unless the<br>
Australian government decides to do something similar if Telstra et al<br>
push now that copyright doesn't protect their data.<br>
<br>
What do others think, or have planned if OSM-F keeps heading into the<br>
lost cause territory?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I am just starting to investigate/think-about this - I will be looking for something that stays close to the current license. Apart from the legal/ethical issues my biggest concern is compatibility with NearMap and Australian government data.<br>
