Talk-CA OpenStreetMap<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: [Talk-ca] Ping John
Whelan?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Acting on your advice I accepted the new CT. On looking more
deeply into the subject I note that I have retrospectively allowed OSM to
license anything I have ever added to the map in any way they wish.
Currently it is odbl but the CT allows anything, the license seems to be an ever
changing document.<BR><BR>Looking at my data I have a couple of footpaths that
were entered from a GPS track and one or two other items these I'm happy to have
under the new CT but very little else.<BR><BR>I find it is not possible to
retract my acceptance.<BR><BR>I have made three separate inquiries on how to get
all my edits removed but all have been ignored.<BR><BR><B><BR>So I can see no
other option than to remove them all manually. </B> <BR><BR><BR>If someone
else wishes to do an import from CANVEC most can be replaced quite quickly,
however I do not want to take the responsibility that OSM in its wisdom will
change the license yet again to something that is not acceptable to
CANVEC.<BR><BR>I also note that according to Fredrick some mappers have already
been deleting entries for people who have not accepted the CT so it seemed to be
an appropriate time to start deleting.<BR><BR>Sorry for any
inconvenience.<BR><BR>Cheerio John<BR><BR>
