I have. But if you read my complete email you will see that I don't
care too much which open source license is being used.

I'm much more worried about the effects of a fork. If we spend time
updating a number of forks, it will detract from time that we could
have spent mapping.

It's much better if we a democratic process and settle the license one
and for all. If joining the OSMF is a requirement to vote, then so be
it. It's only 25 bucks.
