I'm not really a fan of this libertarian "My house, my rules" approach. To a person voicing a controversial (or non-controversial or just plain stupid) opinion it does not matter who exactly silences them. The US constitution

Taking to the internets to bitch about it and inciting the masses makes headlines, is just the only thing that realistically works. It's unprofessional to use highly subjective guidelines.

Thanks, I understand that better. I still think it's not a good argument; you seem to say that if they stopped caring about something there would be less trouble. That seems pure spinelessness.

Sorry, I can't follow. On the one hand you say it's not in OSMs interest to argue in court there is no copyright on maps, on the other you say it's in their interest to give their copyright up?

As for every legal argument on the internet: Surprise, there are different countries with different laws. But I guess you are mostly right, for many countries this is the case. OTOH there is a reason OSM prohibits scanning and tracing other

The main assumption in the article was that people who voluntarily create maps (like I did) only care how much people they reach with the product of their work. And if that would be the case I would have chosen google map maker because abso

I'd say a lame article. Nth rehash of the BSD vs GPL debate, without adding anything.

No, this was just a pointed paraphrasing of exelius' argument.

I think PD had a lot of support not only because people liked the implications for osm, but because there is somewhat unlikely it's even possible in many countries to copyright this data.

People who prefer the better maps? And, yes no commercial operator has improved the map data, because of the license. But do you think these people/enties will suddenly give back just because they are no longer required to do so? Sorry

Nothing stops Apple from mixing OpenStreetMap data extensively into their mobile maps with a share alike model. They just don't want to. And why should I change my mind and not Apple? I'm not making any money from this, so i think

Or a free Objective-C compiler. Or free software for IBM computers. Or drivers for Linux.

Oh, the good old BSD vs GPL religious debate. I just want to add: If i wanted my map data available "to the industry" (that BSD supporters claim can't use the GPL model) I would have used google map maker and not OSM. And i d

What I see as pretty good is the usage of touchscreens. Thinkpad tablets are very popular, but also huge (24 inch and bigger) monitors installed permanently. The presenter than can display a powerpoint presentation (usually it's actual

I'm actually disapointed. I hoped they developed a still image format from Daala. Daala has sigificant improments such as overlapping blocks, differently sized blocks and a predictor that works not only for luma or chroma, but for both

Sorry, this is uneducated bullshit. There was a infinite loop and that was a error in programming logic. Limiting loops a certain number of iterations is absolute bogus. Ever though how stupid it sounds to demand c to forbid while(1)?
