[OSM-talk] OSMF: The people you are going to hand over your OSMdata ...

[John F. Eldredge]

It is my (possibly mistaken) impression that, once the new contract goes into effect, any old data that had been entered, previous to the new contract, by someone who does not agree to the new contract, will be removed from the database.

At least the data before the license change will be under the previous
license. I also don't think the community will let this happen. I left
wikimapia because of empty promises, and also because the community
didn't care the least about the data being non-free .(a few people
only cared, and I guess they left too)
