Which is a shame - The longer the period the more difficult it'll get to 
sync osm and fosm as people start pushing changes in both areas - read -
multi master.

A couple days ago OSM (Or better the OSM Foundation) started to dislike my
contributions so i'd need to start contributing to fosm which in turn will
make it more difficult to take contributions from OSM. 

The longer the OSM Foundation delays the deletions and relicensing the more
it hurts both projects.
