I think we're seeing a slight problem with the wording here that has 
been overlooked, not a problem of the magnitude you describe, and 
certainly nothing to do with commercial vs. non-commercial.

I haven't seen this emerging anywhere. (In fact, the OSM foundation, 
represented by their board of directors, seems to have been remarkably 
un-involved as we have heard from 80n who serves on the board.)

Assuming you're talking about the issue we raised on odc-discuss, I 
currently tend to thing it is a cockup rather than a conspiracy.

Bye
Frederik
