[OSM-legal-talk] Noise vs unanswered questions

[Liz]

The complete lack of any arguments left in the brains of the pro-ODbL lobby 
shows in the complete falling apart of any discussion on this list, with 
previously thoughtful people concentrating on personal attacks on others, 
mostly claiming that they are making personal attacks.

So
1. From where does OSMF get the mandate to choose the licence? OSMF mandate is 
to own and run the servers . I got that from the OSMF website.

2. Why is a vote among ~300 people binding on a community of ~300,000 
contributors, of whom ~12,500 are active mappers.

3. Why does the OSMF use the advice of a lawyer who was party to writing the 
ODbL? I see there the biggest conflict of interest in the project. Good legal 
advice is independent, and the price should not involved in determinign 
whether it is good or bad.

4. How much data loss is acceptable to the pro-ODbL lobby?

5. When will the tools be available to see how much data worldwide will be 
removed? - on a world map, not a diagram.
