Hi all

So some editor in Poland dug up this import
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/6121088> I did back in 2010 of
Manitoba Lands Initiative building data and is demanding proof that we
followed proper procedures.

I explained the MLI license, and that it was discussed on this mailing
list, but they seem to be adamant I provide receipts that we followed the
correct procedure, including approval from the Imports mailing list. The
challenge is that a user who is no longer active initiated the import, and
I was under the impression he had gotten the correct approval. Does anyone
remember this?

I know why procedure exists, but it's frustrating to see this sort of
legalism for an edit older than I a decade. I was an idealistic teenager
when I made this import. Eleven years later I deal with bureaucracy all day
at work, and just want to make usable maps. Again, not suggesting we throw
out the rule book, but surely there's a reasonable approach.

Anyway, my feelings aside, does anyone remember this?

Sam
