Thank you. Do you speak for the OSMF?

I oppose the change, primarily because of the damage it will cause. I've
already seen what removing small amounts of data will do
(http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2011-March/057318.html) and
do not wish to see more of this.

On the other hand, I wish to continue to contribute, and, because I am happy
to contribute into the public domain, I cannot, under my personal ethics,
decline.
