[talk-au] Frederik declares war on data imports...

[John Smith]

For anyone still fence sitting over the new contributor terms and the
ODBL this is what you have to look forward to in the near future:

Basically those in favour of PD but not directly effected by or
benefiting from data imports would like to have them all ripped out
and replaced with surveyed data.

I for one would love it if Frederik would carry out his threat in this email:

http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/legal-talk/2010-August/003910.html

Because he would no longer be able to hide behind someone else
vandalising the data if/when data is removed in future due to the
license change over and he himself would directly become the data
vandal.

If these people were serious about making a PD set of map data they
would start their own project rather than foisting their morals and
agendas on the rest of us.
