[OSM-legal-talk] CT, time period for reply to a new license change (active contributor)

[M∡rtin Koppenhoefer]

Sorry that I come quite late with this, it might be too late, and it
was bothering me occasionally already for some months: if we really
decided in the future to change the license, isn't 3 weeks a little
short for such an important issue? I am referring to the time span
required for an active contributor to reply to an email from the
foundation. I feel this could be extended to say 6-8 weeks, because it
is not completely improbable that someone is not reachable for 3
weeks, and I don't see a need for such a hurry in a case important
like a license change (note we are now occupied with the current
license change and discussions for over 3 years).

Of course a potential new license change would most likely not appear
from nowhere, and implying a benevolent foundation this is maybe not
an issue, still for formal reasons I think this time span could be
extended.

cheers,
Martin
