I don't think I am saying anything new but I just wanted to make sure
everyone on the same page. In the LWG, we think that the WTFE algo makes
a good base for the upcoming license change since it has had thought put
into it and because it provides predictability - the stats we are seeing
now in terms of problematic nodes, ways, relations should be reflected
in the actual rebuild.
The LWG would also like to keep out of the way now as most or all of the
decisions should be based on technical practicality not hypothetical
cases. Our general guideline is, "the rebuild should be a reasonable
effort to remove from publishing of the IP value of mappers who have not
accepted the new contributor terms. It should be fair to be both them
and to continuing mappers. If there are concerns after the rebuild,
previous mappers should be treated with the same respect as any third
party license holder and requests for specific removals can be made to
the OSMF as per the US Digital Millenium Copyright Act".
