The logo competition, which may *possibly* result in a logo change, is
not stopping me from continuing to map*. Nor will it stop people
agreeing to the ODbL change, or stop time passing to reach the next
stage in the license change plan.
I'm sure Steve can see the logos are struggling to get above okay/3.
Hopefully he will share the feedback that was given with the votes.
Steve gave reasons why the current logo is not a perfectly fitting as a
logo, I'm sure him/the board/us can take those into account and how
happy people are with it in preference to changing it.
Gregory.
*cold weather, few day light hours, and laziness, are stopping me.
