Just out of interest, I'd like to hear your opinion from the
perspective of a new user, unjaded by the ugliness that has sometimes
characterised this conversation on both sides.

The licence discussion has been a huge distraction  to the project,
which is unfortunate.  Hopefully we'll be out the other side soon,
with each OSMer choosing their path onwards, or perhaps choosing to
move on.

However, I'm sure if you want to talk about mapping, or need any help
there are many OSMers who would be more than happy to lend an hand.
