Isn't it going to present some complicated management problems if the<br>
LWG changes the contributor terms at this stage in the process?<br>

No, not in this case. The proposal is a subset of the powers currently available to OSMF, not a superset. It is the existing CT _minus_ the option of future relicensing (with a clarification on asserting rights in any derivative database combined entirely of contributions by PD users).<br>
<br>
Therefore OSMF need not treat the two groups separately as long as it does not exert the future licence change option for the 30,000 'CT 1.0' signups.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Richard, that's very true in this case. But the LWG still needs a mandate to make this change. They can't do it just because Richard asked nicely. What's the mechanism by which they can make changes to the contributor terms?<br>
