Hi,

The license text didn't have anything about click-through, click- 
wrap, browse-wrap or whatever, it only had the bit about being a  
contract.

If either the current license draft or the "brief brief" mean that in  
the future, OSM data may only be offered after displaying a note to  
the user and requesting him to click "ok" (or the equivalent in other  
media), then this would be a significant drawback compared to today's  
situation - a drawback so big that it might cancel out the advantages.

Bye
Frederik
