[OSM-legal-talk] Updated geocoding community guideline proposal

[Simon Poole]

I don't think it makes much sense to speculate on what MBs counsel told
them and what not, since in the end the answer will have depended very
much on the question asked.

From a LWG pov I believe the process we are trying to go through is:
looking at some real life use cases, determine how to model best the
workings of the ODbL in these and whatthe consequences and effects on
third party data are. Staying within the spirit of the licence and
hearing arguments from the stakeholders in doing so.

That is very different from asking us, or a lawyer: "this is the desired
outcome, please figure out a way to make some arguments that support it".

The former, if you so will, is similar to proceedings of a court, and
the result is case law, the later is more a lawyer arguing the case in
front of the bench.
