reading the legal FAQ for the license change:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License_FAQ

there is a paragraph that looks strange to me:

"... - we may take the view that those who have made small
contributions, but cannot be contacted, would relicence their data
under the new licence. We will enable them to contact us at a later
date."

this part looks like a problem to me, as it is opt-out instead of the
always proclaimed opt-in, or have I misunderstood this? Or is this
refering to anonymous edits only?

cheers,
Martin
