[OSM-talk] [OSM-legal-talk] License Change View on OSM Inspector

[Michael Collinson]

Hi Adam,

Yes, you have definitely accepted the new terms. You can check the UK 
list at http://odbl.de/great_britain.html

I opened the same location with the on-line Potlatch editor 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=51.723507&lon=-0.812403&zoom=18

It looks like the way itself is yours (Nov 2009) but that you have used 
nodes made (May 2009) by an earlier contributor called ngent. He/she has 
not yet accepted the new terms.

I suggest that you send him a message saying that your edits depend on 
his work and would he kindly login to his account and accept.  He may 
think his contributions too small/old to be worth while.  I have done 
this several times in the UK and have good response. Alternatively, 
remap it if you have enough information to do so without just copying 
his work.

If this happens again and you  use Potlatch, you and anyone else in the 
same situation can do this:

- Select the way or node.
- Hit the "t" key to get the "Advanced" view on the left-hand side.
- At the top, you will now see something like "Node: 413600709 unsure"
- Left click on that.
- Thus opens a new window http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/413600709
- You can then click on ngent's name and see he is "*Contributor terms:* 
Undecided " and send him a message. Thank him for the contribution and 
ask him to log in and accept as your contributions depend on his.
-  (often there is more than one editor you will have to click on the 
View History link and find which user by by going through each one):

This is a pain to do for just one or two nodes, but as the same 
contributor may have edits in other places we should collectively get 
these red points minimised pretty quickly. Germany, UK and Spain are the 
worst at the moment.
