oh, I was unclear.

In this case I wanted to download all currently tagged landuse
(more than 60 000 nodes in just https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/10953749 )
and find all authors.

Added by an import.

OEG organiser is describing it as adding traced iagery, I am trying to establish copyright
status of materials they used.

It was referred as source=UNIS, so based on what I know already I created
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UNIS to make it less confusing for other mappers

I thought that would be the same as taking a book, translating it and changing/improving
some parts of story and publishing as my own).
