[OSM-talk] Unsetting CT flag

Hi,
  So, this is awkward. According to my profile, I've "agreed to the
new Contributor Terms". I have no recollection of having done so, and
obviously I don't want to agree to them while they're incompatible
with Nearmap. Sadly, the GUI doesn't tell me when this flag was set,
nor does it provide a way to unset it. (I could also complain about
the fact that there are no indications anywhere else that you're
operating in a totally different licensing mode, but I'll leave it.)

So:
1) Could someone please unset this flag for me: (User: stevage)
2) Could someone please tell me when it got set?

And for bonus points:
3) Could someone provide evidence that I did indeed set it? I think
the most likely explanation is that I did (I do recall visiting the
page on several occasions to read the terms, maybe I had a brainfart),
but I'm curious whether there is any kind of signature equivalent that
would hold up in court. A single bit in a database is not very
compelling.

Failing all that, I guess I create a new user account?

>From a pragmatic legal perspective, it seems to me that any
nearmap-sourced edits that I made while under the effects of the CT
are totally invalid anyway, so should be moved to a non-CT account.
Or, to save a lot of bother: just unset the flag.

Steve
