Sites that depend on contracts will usually have something in their 
terms and conditions that says "if you're not legally able to enter a 
contract then go away". (We have discussed this and most OSMers would 
not really like to have terms and conditions that basically shut out 
minors from the project. I don't know what will happen.)
