So do we have the new licence? Do we have the current draft?

Where has this been addressed? What has been the results?

How is what we are talking about "wasted effort"?

Are you saying we shouldn't discuss things until we see the current licence?
Isn't this what was happening before this discussion started? People
saying "oh, who knows! It's all up in the air!"

Do we, as a community, by discussing these things, have no influence
on the direction of the future of OSM?

Has everything been decided already by the OSMF?
