Obviously, you are busy but I also don't have time to keep going through my emails and your minutes to see if any discussion has taken place. I first raised the produced works/CC0/PD compatibility issue with you back on 25th May.

Who are you to demand a response from people working in their spare time? You are not even willing to spend the time to read minutes and emails but expect individual response. If every mapper of the 10-20k active mappers expects this then tell me how the LWG or OSMF can do this? hire 500 lawyers to repeatedly answer the same question? What I have learned only a lawyer or a court desicion can give final answers. Whatever LWG says is less than an advise and absolutely not binding. 


and just to be clear, I am not an osmf member or in any way involved in the license change. Just tired of endless discussions and disrespect of the work these guys are doing.
