I've been stocking up on ropes as of late, I would quote you a volume 
discount for say a 100 or so.

Seriously the "new" guidelines are no more enforceable as the previous 
texts and as they do not cover one of the major bones of contention, and 
do not really change the catch 22 situation some users will find 
themselves in.

Assuming that the intent is that we want OSM data to be used in the 1st 
place, something I now and then doubt.
