[talk-ph] Rollback of admin boundary edits in the Philippines due to incompatible license (was Re: Alaminos Barangay borders)

[Erwin Olario]

Thank you to the volunteers who helped out, and the support of the OSM
community.

In this regard, we wish to call on your feedback/inputs regarding how the
community can clearly communicate whether data sources are compatible (or
incompatible) with OpenStreetMap.

I have drafted an FAQ  [1] that is eventually intended for adding to the
OSM wiki Philippine community convention page, with the hope that we can
avoid incidents like this in the future.

Feel free to add your inputs directly on the pad, or leave comments
therein, or add your responses to this thread [1]
