[OSM-talk] deleted copyrighted material technically still in the database?

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

This issue has cropped up with Wikipedia too. The view there is that even
though the copyrighted material is still available in the wiki page history,
this should not be a big concern. Deleting the material from the current
version of the page means that there is an intent to remove the infringing
material. But if necessary, then sysads can really delete the offending data
in the database.
