[OSM-talk] Contact And Remap Campaign

[Simon Poole]

The PD check box is purely advisory, see 
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License#What_Are_The_Choices.3F

Note that the CTs guarantee that required attribution will survive any 
future licence changes (or data with such requirements would have to be 
removed)  so the likelihood of a switch to PD actually happening is 
negligible. Despite the amount of FUD that continues to be generated on 
exactly this point.
