<br>I am also taking the view that the OS issue will get resolved by the licensing group.<br><br>The potential incompatibility of the OSM contributor terms with any 'attribribution' requirement on source data seems to be a serious problem (should that be the case) and I am sure they are grappling with it.<br>
<br>I am confident that the issue with the OS OpenData (should there be one) is one that will be resolvable by OSMF possibly in discussion with the OS and/or British government if necessary. I wish them luck with that and will support them in their efforts if asked.<br>
<br>Fyi, I have contributed very extensively around the world over 3 years and can't sign up to the terms due to recent work using OS OpenData.<br><br>In general I am getting on with other stuff while this gets sorted.<br>

Potlatch is still offering Opendata as a layer, with no warning as to the potential problem vis a vis existing contributions. Shouldn't we be dropping this rather quickly?<br>
<br>
<br>
Quite!<br>
<br>
Also, why is it on the wiki without a massive red font warning?<br>
<br>
Why did the announcement about the new terms not include a very clear line on this for all UK contributors?<br>
<br>
Why has a clear announcement about this problem not gone out on opengeodata, the announce list, this list, etc. from the OSM Foundation?<br>
<br>
I have been contributing stacks of data using the OS StreetView data on the assumption that - having been discussed, put on the wiki and into Potlatch, it was OK. Now I hear from Etienne that I might have to drop out of OpenStreetMap because my user account may not be compatible with the new terms, and that I cannot agree to those new terms with which I agree?<br>
<br>
If true, this is a bit crazy.<br>
