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

[Nick Hocking]

Frederik,

On a related note, what if....

Mapper A has traced a road from (now) uncompliant imagery.

Mapper B has surveyed the road but had decided to leave A's hard work in
place and just add the road's name.

Mapper A now decides to withdraw from the OSM project and not relicence his
contributions.
It does not seen fair or reasonable that mapper B's hard work should be
destroyed by A's decisions.
I think it would be fair and reasonable to leave a "place marker"  (with the
road's name and any other info put by mapperB) somewhere along the road,
when the road traced by mapper a is removed.

That way, when another mapper either traces the road from compliant imagery
or from the GPS track, mapper's B work can be reinserted.
Cheers
Nick
