Hi all,

I wanted to create a way for individual users to relicense their data
under difference licenses. Since OSM and derivatives are OAuth
capable, it is possible to authenticate a user and get them to agree
to a license. This can be stored in a machine readable format. I hope
this will be useful in transferring data between forks, particularly
if a significant number of people chose permissive licenses. From what
I can tell, most mappers pretty much agree to any license they are
presented with. :)

At this stage, I was hoping for ideas for improvements of the legal
issues. Any thoughts?
