[Legal-general] Do we need an extra server at all...?

[Kari Pihkala]

OK, so how would the last known PD version work in practice? In USA, it
would mainly fall to TIGER data - not so much problems there.

In Europe, there isn't much PD data. What could I do if I wanted to have my
home city as a PD map? Currently, most nodes are created by SA contributors.
Could I simply go through all nodes and touch them and upload them to the
server?

If I can't - then is there any way to create a PD version of the city, other
than trying to convince people to move to PD? What if they are stubborn and
refuse - can I use Yahoo/gps tracks and create another layer of streets?

It says in the original post: "The cool thing is that this works even
retroactively; if you convince someone to go PD then all his past
contributions will be opened up in an instant."

And, if a PD user decides to go SA, then all his past contributions will
stay in PD? Releasing something into PD is usually an irrevocable action..
