<p>And what about this *lovely* letter? can you develop this a bit, plz?<br>
Questions of licences and opendata are more and more important imho ... because we can't walking side-by-side in opendata direction, without looking our neighbours and working and-by-and.<br>
This way of "silos" (when everyone is just looking at it's own data' it's a shame...<br>
We all have to work together in direction if "crowdsourcing" indeed....<br>
I personaly sues (boring) about having in my hands so much opendata and contrain to "not to do nothing with 'em" because of licences considerations :-(<br>
Those last monthes/years, gouv. & municipalities made best efforts to release opendata... and what we do is just negative arg 'bout them... instead of congratulations...</p>
<p>Once again.... do you really thing that volonteers mappers can hand-drawing things like administrative boundaries with their mouses on JOSM or Potlach? Definitively *not*. <br>
So... we *need* those data that are available online.</p>
<p>So... what are we doing?<br>
What may be doing?<br>
What should be doing?</p>
<p>For instance a "press-release" or declaration, that claims our vision of odbl licence and inquires gouvts. to use those type of licence and/or rewrite their own to adapt them to odbl?<br>
Or maybe a template of letter that every single OSM local community(group) could send to their local adminitrative representants?<br>
Or What?</p>
<p>This or this or ...whatever.... anyway let's do something but don't stay doing «nothing but small nodes/ways adjustments)....</p>
<p>best regards</p>
<p>(sorry for my bad english...)</p>
