[OSM-legal-talk] OS Opendata & the new license

[Ed Avis]

Surely we can all agree to differ about whether data imports are a Good Thing
or a Bad Thing.  The legal-talk mailing list is not really the place for such
a discussion.  Most people will say 'it depends on the particular data being
added' and we could perhaps leave it at that.

What's important is that the licence choice be not used as a stick to enforce
a particular policy about data imports or other aspects of mapping.  We as a
community choose what kind of map we want to create, and then need to choose a
licence to support that choice.  At the moment the tail seems to be wagging the
dog.

Some people want to import data, some don't.  Both groups need to be supported.
