[OSM-legal-talk] Deconstructing the "loss of data" claim

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

Of course, but until now I thought it was our common goal to make it  
as error free as we can, and in fact when I talked about OSM I  
presented it as somewhat "morally superior" to those evil data  
providers who lie to us. If I now have an OSM board member publicly  
announcing that he knows of easter eggs (and if you would disapprove  
of the practice then you would have removed them already!), I cannot  
claim that moral high ground for OSM any longer.

> You are, of course, totally at liberty to find and remove them.

It seems that you would be in a better position than me to do it. But  
maybe, if that's the new project guideline, I'll start with some  
creativity as well. I think map data can be a great playing ground  
for various senses of humour.

Bye
Frederik
