May I remind the OSMF that from the Wiki page[1]:

"The OpenStreetMap Foundation is an international non-profit 
organisation supporting but not controlling the project."

If that is true, I have no motivation to participate in the OSMF.


However, the currently planned action in the license change (especially 
in the way it is currently planned to be done) is IMHO "controlling the 
project" and nothing else.
