David, many people have been coerced or suckered into agreeing.  I've been
badgered many times (including three times today, on this very thread by an
OSMF board member).

Many people have been railroaded into compliance by threats that their
contributions will be deleted, despite this being patently untrue (there is
at least one fork that will not delete anyone's data).

You should probably never believe in promises from politicians, especially
if they don't have a viable plan for how they will achive it,
