Hi all,
I wanted to create a way for individual users to relicense their data
under difference licenses. Since OSM and derivatives are OAuth capable,
it is possible to authenticate a user and get them to agree to a
license. This can be stored in a machine readable format. I hope this
will be useful in transferring data between forks, particularly if a
significant number of people chose permissive licenses. From what I can
tell, most mappers pretty much agree to any license they are presented
with. :)

At this stage, I was hoping for ideas for improvements of the legal
issues. Any thoughts?
