Quite!

Also, why is it on the wiki without a massive red font warning?

Why did the announcement about the new terms not include a very clear line
on this for all UK contributors?

Why has a clear announcement about this problem not gone out on opengeodata,
the announce list, this list, etc. from the OSM Foundation?

I have been contributing stacks of data using the OS StreetView data on the
assumption that - having been discussed, put on the wiki and into Potlatch,
it was OK. Now I hear from Etienne that I might have to drop out of
OpenStreetMap because my user account may not be compatible with the new
terms, and that I cannot agree to those new terms with which I agree?

If true, this is a bit crazy.

Tom
