This came through over night.

Is it a standard mailer going out to all?

Hi MCH,

wicking has sent you a message through OpenStreetMap with the subject OpenStreetMap is changing the licence:

Hello MCH.

As I’ve seen on http://odbl.de you’ve contributed quite a lot of data so I wanted to ask, if you already know, that OpenStreetMap is asking existing contributors to re-license their contributions under a new licence, which is more suitable for our data. (OSM wants to change the current Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 2.0 (CC-BY-SA 2.0) to Open Database License (OdbL) 1.0.)

Maybe you’ve reasons why you did not accept it already. Perhaps you could tell me.

You can read more about the licence change here: http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License

You can accept the new licence here (if you’re logged in): http://openstreetmap.org/user/terms

I hope to hear from you.
