[OSM-legal-talk] decision removing data

[Heiko Jacobs]

May I set a reminder to a mail of mine?

Everyone discusses consequenzes of the decision of removing
data from non-accepting people, but it seems, that they all
have forgotten, WHY they have decided to remove data?

For such an inportant thing like removing data from OSM project
while licence change anyone here should know, where the reasons
of this decisionare written down...

If we forgot the official reasons or if they had no worth to write
them down then we should also simply forget to remove any data ... ;-)
