I don't really want to raise the issue again but I found the new map
of ODBL coverage (http://osm.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/map/)
interesting as it literally highlights the effect the new license and
terms will have on map coverage in the UK.
The town I currently map in, Oxford, would be wiped off the ODBL map,
with the exception of a few minor roads. Interestingly, looking at
those minor roads, they are only there because a user as incorrectly
accepted the new contributor terms (they have made use of OS
material). Does any one have an objective update on how the OS issue
stands with regard to the new CTs?
Out of interest, how many people have opened a new account and
contribute non OS derived work through it? It would seem like a
sensible approach for those of us who can't currently accept the new
terms.
Apologies if these are old/silly questions but I don't have a deep
enough understanding to pick through all the arguments and counter
arguments that go on in the other lists.
