Not "ohh dear", but communicate with him, revert his commits and be
done with it. And please, next time let's not disscuss it what he was
intended to do. Post indicated that he worked with OSM, period.

We can't waste our time arguing every time somehting like this pops
up. People don't dig copyright, period. They think it is absurd that
they can't trace sat/ortphotos. So such mistakes will come out now and
then.

Cheers everyone,
Peter.
