[OSM-legal-talk] Contributor Terms

[Matt Amos]

just so that this isn't hidden in the dark depths of the privacy
thread, i thought it's worth announcing the latest draft of the
contributor terms. this is the document that contributors would agree
to as the license is changed and on any new sign-up.

bear in mind that it still isn't a finished document - it's under
discussion in LWG meetings and is being reviewed by OSMF's lawyer. we
think it sets out, with the minimum of legalese, a fair contract with
the balance rights and obligations that the community wants.

we look forward to hearing any feedback.

cheers,

matt
