Please don't come up with this sort of nonsense

Imports have increased our number of contributors, not decreased them.
I have mapped, with my partner, a VERY large area of my state. Mostly from 
survey work. That means we got the main roads, streets in towns and some side 
roads, POIs.
Nowhere would I claim it is complete. My survey work has been supplemented by 
imports which have provided some river and some rail and some road alignments.

My work extends from Cobar to Tocumwal with a little overlap at the southern 
end
and between Adelaide and Wollongong
East West the area between Yass and Mildura is mostly my work, with little 
overlap.

My work is not going under ODBL but I am still waiting to hear how my work is 
going to be excluded.
