[OSM-talk] Import guidelines & OSMF/DWG governance

[Simon Poole]

The changes to the guidelines should be seen in the light of the original text being very OSMish, trying to leave some wiggle room and trying not to come over as an absolute law, but I believe the intention was always that seperate accounts would be the norm.

In reality a large number of importers ignored (not only) the provision in question and resorted to mincing words to justify it (Mike being a good example of this). The clarification should be seen as a step to avoid that.

The licence change process in particular turned up a large number of (problematic and others) imports where the importers washed their hands of their responsibility and left the clean up work to others.
