"The OS issue" is happily pretty much irrelevant to Oxford, as the city was
surveyed to better-than-OSSV level before the OpenData release took place.

So if we're to extrapolate from the Oxford example, we can safely conclude
that there actually isn't a problem; the vast majority of data was
contributed by mappers who will agree to ODbL _when_ _asked_ (A-I in my
list). It just looks like there's a problem if you take this premature
visualisation on trust without understanding the context.

I think you're assuming that you are Mapper J; you're not. I haven't
enumerated you within A to J. I didn't think there was a lot of point
restating your own preferences back to you as I guess you know them already.
