During late 2008 and early 2009 a user inappropriately imported (and
amend existing OSM data) into OSM for Lithuania from what was strongly
believed to be copyrighted data. The data accounted for roughly 20% of
the Lithuania data.

A custom tool was developed which used the methods as described. The
tool was used by the Data Working Group to revert his edits/import
including the sock puppet accounts he was using at the time.

80n weren't you a member of the OSMF board at the time? It went
through the board.
