Thanks Richard.  What we could do with from the LWG (and I'm sure that 
they will look at doing it) is a "here are the new CTs and the new 
licence, and here's how we think that it affects you if you've 
previously used data from XYZ in OSM and/or intend to do so in the 
future" for each large XYZ (Yahoo, OS Opendata, etc.).
