[OSM-legal-talk] Updates to ODbL related Wiki pages and outstanding issues

[Mike Collinson]

Legal review of Use Case doco with original Use Case text is now available at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Use_Cases or go straight to 
http://foundation.openstreetmap.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/2008-02-28_legalreviewofosmlicenseusecases2.pdf

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Timeline can be deleted and the link redirected to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Implementation_Plan, I see nothing that is not dated or duplicated. Sorry, I am not sure how to do this.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Open_Issues versus Implementation_Issues.  Some of  are very general questions more related to the license itself than our implementation.  I've added some comments that may help generate specific action items.
