[OSM-legal-talk] CTs are not full copyright assignment

Please note that the CT do not guarantee a 2/3 majority of the community. Only 
a part of the community is entitled to vote.

I would also like to repeat what I wrote in an earlier email to this list: 
"The process of updating the CT and of responding to criticism 
within the community is far more important to me than the actual result of 
this update."

Shortly after I wrote these words, a respected community member attacked me as 
being "blinded by ideology". He never apologised, and no one contradicted him. 
This personal attack is the main reason why I am now completely unwilling to 
accept the CT as long as I see peoblems in it.
