[OSM-legal-talk] license change effect on un-tagged nodes

Hi,

    suppose there's a node that has been created by user A with no tags 
on it. Suppose the node has later been moved by user B. A has not 
accepted the CT, while B has.

Will the node have to be removed when we go to phase 5 of the license 
change?

You could say: yes, because version 2 is clearly a derived work of 
version 1.

You could also say: no, because the information "added" in version 2 
(new coordinates) overwrites all information that was there from version 
1, so there is nothing left to be "protected".

Opinions?

Bye
Frederik
