I appreciate that licence discussion really belongs on legal-talk, but<br>

It is regrettable that OSMF is placing the burden of working out<br>
whether contributed data is compatible with the CTs and licences on<br>
individual volunteer mappers. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>As you later state, they aren't. They are seeking legal advice to help contributors. Perhaps they should specifically warn UK users on the web site form that seeks agreement with the CTs until this advice comes in? That might be something to constructively lobby for.</div>
