OpenStreetMap's point of no return
OpenStreetMap's point of no return

Back in 2008, LWN reported on the OpenStreetMap project and its plan to change the licensing of its map database. This change was controversial, to say the least, but the project as a whole appeared to be determined to press forward with it. At the beginning of 2011, the license change has not yet happened. But it has now been determined that April 1 of this year will be an important milestone date in this process. This could be interesting to watch, as the project is still not entirely sure of what it is changing to.
