[talk-au] [OSM-legal-talk] Statement from nearmap.com regarding submission of derived works from PhotoMaps to OpenStreetMap

[Tim Challis]

Did anybody else read this and also think, "Monkey see 'CT', monkey
respond with irrelevant wiki page."?

Steve: Is right, because he stuck to the stated facts.

Nick: Is right because his full statement ended with the line
>> However I also can't see exactly how the published statement meets this
>> wish.

  He is right, because it does not. Why did Grant remove this line, when
Steve left it in?

Grant: Is making an even bigger arse of himself even than I may have
thought of him beforehand.

My 8.5 cents. Ban me!

	Tim.
