          <div>Nuno, you are quoting this like it's the law, but what
            you have quoted here isn't the *law*, it's what *OSMF*
            thinks *might* happen and what motivates OSMF to put out
            guidelines. Frankly, OSMF can choose to change the language
            you have quoted as a part of changing the guidelines! <br>
          </div>
          <div>Under the law, the licensor's opinion, as one party to
            the contract, is taken into consideration. However, it is
            *not* the only thing that matters. The words of the licence
            matter more, and if there is a conflict between what the
            licensor thinks and what the licence says, the words of the
            licence will control. In that case, the licensor is simply
            "wrong" (and there are plenty of cases where that was the
            end result).</div>
          <div>You are right that we hope to avoid disputes by setting
            out reasonable guidelines, but if OSMF sets out guidelines
            that are unreasonable and not tied to the language of the
            licence, then no one, either users of the data or judges,
            will listen to OSMF, and, under the law, rightly so.<br>
