OpenStreetMap
If you have traced from NearMap, this does not debar you from agreeing to the CTs.
You may now quit whining about it.
[The technical bit: the data will have to be removed in the event of an actual licence change, but it would not jeopardise any other contributions you have made.]

Nice fine print there. "Quit whining. Even though all your nearmap-sourced contributions will be deleted when OSM goes ODBL, you should rejoice in the fact that you can at least tick a box. Hundreds of hours of work deleted, but you get to TICK A BOX."
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

Weren't you at one point going around saying WAAAAAAAAAAH I TRACED FROM NEARMAP I WON'T BE ALLOWED TO MAP ANYMORE WAAAAAAAAAAH? That's rather more drastic than just saying "Oh my, some of the features I have added will have to be deleted."
So it looks like maybe we lose some data somewhere. OH SHIT THE SKY IS FALLING IN WE'RE ALL DOING TO DIE IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. Data is the product. Like all businesses, sometimes you have to write off some stock. Thankfully, we still have the means of production.
Find out who got agreement to allow us to trace CC-BY-SA data came at least a full year after the first hints that a change might have been on the cards. Go bitch to them for having allowed you to waste hundreds of hours tracing stuff that we might have had to get rid of anyway.

Well, it would be nice of users on all sides of the license debate to acknowledge that the people on the other side are just mappers like yourself and working on improving the OSM project.
Regarding nearmap-derived data: Please have a look at the thread starting at http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/legal-talk/2011-June/006160.html
That should hopefully clarify the situation.

The email you link to says the exact opposite of your small text--NearMap-derived OSM contributions made before June 17th will *not* be removed from the ODbL OSM data (assuming you have also agreed to the ODbL+CTs).

asciiphil is correct. No Nearmap derived contribution need to be removed, ever.
However, if a disgruntled user insists that their contributions (whether Nearmap derived or not) must be deleted from OSM, their data has to go.
Once the CT's are enforced, users will never be able to do this to the project again.
