It's the contributor terms that made me refuse to accept.

Not ODBL. I can see the both the advantages and drawbacks

of ODBL but these are not a major problem.

 

For me the CT has been a problem.

 

I principally refuse to sign a contract where I can be held legally
responsible

for data I contribute for free; where the other party engages itself to
nothing at all,

not even to take care of the data I contribute.

 

Only on a legally  immature  medium as internet, where a contract can be
signed with a click using a nickname

(or that is what we are made to believe) such large number of sheep will
accept such a contract.

 

If the community were obliged so sign up with a written signature, OSM
would

have no contributors anymore.

 

 

Regards,
Gert

all
the problems we had with the license change

 

Lets be clear here, I think the problems is not because of the license
change, but the contributor terms , ( the click through license and the
mass collection of all IP rights by the OSF). As far as I know the new
license is not even in place, the data is being deleted from users who
did not agree to give up all rights to the OSMF and allow for the
license to be changed at any time. 

 

so lets keep the terms clear here,

 

thanks,

mike
