Detectist's Diary

First and last(?) diary entry

Posted by Detectist on 21 July 2011 in English.

Now that it is almost the 12th hour I have decided on whether to accept or decline the new licance and contributor terms in relation to my contributions to OSM to date.

I had been an active mapper, avid reader but not an active contributor on the forums. Apart from occasional fixing of down/up ramp direction and other little bits and pieces all of my submissions (direct or through a mate) have been through GPS survey. After, again (for the nth time) considering all the opinions/statements from people on both sides and in-between of the arguments I am going to accept the licence/CTs of OSM for submitted work.

I will now only contribute to an OSM fork. 2 bob each way I suppose but I see various dimensions of pluses and minuses in all camps. I can actually feel the frustration and anger from all camps but I also see good people in all camps too and I think acting in good faith.

I wish all well.
