I don't want youre private guesses.
I want to have official facts.

For such an important thing, for my opinion every mapper
has the right to read a document where the reasons of the loss
of data are well documented to analyze and understand it for
it's own decisions.
Thousands of words are already written down to declare, why
the change of licence is necessary and why the new licence is
better than the old one. Thanks for that to everyone who write this.
What's the problem to do this for the reasons of data loss, too?

OSM has not to decide wether Google allows copying or not.
So I can't ask it.
You use absurd examples do draw off the attention from
well-founded, but unanwsered questions.

A lot of things around the point of data loss are very absurd, indeed ...
