[OSM-talk] Progressing OSM to a new data Licence regime

[Stefan Baebler]

I guess this is why it's called "the hard bit".

Also ... The GPX traces were (presumably) uploaded under CCBYSA. Since
traces metadata was lost there is now roughly 25% of the trackpoints
with unknown contributors - no one to grant relicensing and unknow
"public" attribute. Should these traces also be deleted? Should the
data, that was derived from such traces, also be deleted, even if
nodes and ways were contributed (derived from traces) by someone who
agrees to the new license?

It's harder than it looks.
