[OSM-legal-talk] Low-edit decliners

[Richard Weait]

Hi all,

As of moments ago, 419 accounts have declined CT/ODbL.  That sounds
like a large number, but it is fewer than 1% of the over 54,000
accounts who have accepted CT/ODbL.

Of the declining accounts, 56 have never submitted data to OpenStreetMap.

An additional 167 accounts have fewer than 10 changesets.

Some mappers are enjoying removing objects tainted by these low-edit
accounts.  It's a small way to say, "That's not a problem any more."
Sort of like picking up litter while you walk to the door of the shop
and dropping it in the trash.

I've started a table of declining accounts, and added the location and
count of objects touched by some of them.  So you can find a low-edit
decliner near you and remap their data.  Leave a note once you have
purged a particular account so that other mappers can move on to other
accounts.

The osm heatmap makes these low-edit accounts easy to recognize.

Happy mapping,
