Licence change checkup
Posted by lsces on 8 January 2012 in English. Lეკონიას გეახალჷ 16 February 2012-ის.I've been working around the area here and checking out 'unlicenced' data. There is little red coverage on http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=wtfe&lon=-1.99969&lat=52.08041&zoom=12&opacity=0.74&overlays=overview,wtfe_point_clean,wtfe_line_clean,wtfe_point_harmless,wtfe_line_harmless,wtfe_point_modified,wtfe_line_modified_cp,wtfe_line_modified,wtfe_point_created,wtfe_line_created_cp,wtfe_line_created
Users who's work needs checking:-
80n - covers a large area of the country! There are a large number of nodes surrounding my area that are from those edits.
Locally
Simon Ward has declined, and has a block of mapping in Evesham and Stratford which needs looking at
willjones00, petbar, thingymebob and sherbourne have been emailed as undecided.

80n does seam to get everywhere - can't tell what s/he's actually changed on most of the things I've checked.

Have you added the names of people you contacted to the wiki page?

Now I've got back into the wiki .....
80n created a lot of the original data in those areas. A lot has been edited since, but the original nodes are 'tainted' :(

Is there anyway of getting the geofabrik link above as a layer in JOSM and Potlach?
Comment from lsces on %დ %თ %წ at %ს:%წ
Well the reason I dropped it here was so I could get back to it later. The area is much bigger then you would open in Potlach, and my own process has been to select an 'error' on geofabrik and follow the link in the detail to centre on the area I need to work on. It's worked well a little further over and I've cleared a lot of some areas .. Evesham is next
osm.org/?lon=-1.99969&lat=52.08041&zoom=12 is the map area ( you borrow the lon/lat/zoom element from the link )

From osm.wiki/Remapping#Imaging_Background, you can view the license layer in JOSM with:
tms:http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/tiles/wtfe/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png
And Potlatch2 with:

@JoshD - Thanks for that. It will make it so much easier to track and re-map the contributors data that isn't compliant with the new licence.

Excellent - well done for fixing Evesham. Just cycled through there today, came back to look at OSMI and noticed you'd fixed it all. :)
