The platform allows bounties that condition payment on providing __positive__ reviews. Let's imagine your idea gets traction. Now we do not have ads discernible from the medium content; instead we have content polluted by favorable mentions of businesses/services/products that do not reflect reality. That sounds like a disaster. Maybe one of your platform policies should be that bounties must not condition payments on the reviews to be positive.
Well written, thanks. Fully autonomous people seem to have a sharing instinct, likely dating back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors that - by virtue of being an instinct - is very hard to fight. So I am not holding my breath for any rapid changes in that behavior (for example by turn to copy left licenses), but the more often it happens the better for all of us.
We manage a fleet of gps-equipped vehicles with SIMs from https://1nce.com/. These SIMS cost 10 euros, are good for 10 years, work with all mobile operators (at least here in SK) and have 500 MB data package that can be recharged, if needed.
Received data are processed on our server.
I believe the way the OSM community goes about "enforcing" the license is lacking on many fronts, which I suspect is a sentiment shared by many (but not most) mappers. I have a proposal for addressing the problem a part of which is mass identification of the users of the tiles and the offenders, but also introduction of a (hopefully) community-acceptable way to enFORCE the license.
As a first step I wanted to get at least rough numbers about the scale of the offenses. I will present the proposal either on the legal talk list or write a blog post.
Don't just tax them. Exchange the taxed amounts for non-monetary, signaling reward ("merits") - a reward one can get only, when surrendering economic value to the public. Rich folks perceive money primarily as a signal of their competence (which gets translated to status) and scarcity of merits could make them being craved by all.
You can create an entry for each project in Rovas[1]. There is one for OpenStreetMap[2] already. If a project depends on another, you can define the dependencies in the app. There are several benefits to do it this way, one of them being that anybody can reward a Rovas projects with own work, or normal money. The income benefits anybody who reports work in the app. Workers receive also a reputation-like reward, if somebody rewards the project they work on.
The economic value left on the table by volunteers is consumed not by the ones who need it most, but by people who need it the least. This breaks the 2nd principle of justice as formulated by Rawls. Shall I say more...
of course it is true OSM mappers provide free labor (also) to corporate giants. They have vested (economic) interest to not fork the OSM project exactly for this reason. Maybe they will do it one day though.
...and their share of edits is growing. Maybe one day OSM mappers will wake up and realize they provide free labor to corporate giants that sucks economic value from community. Hopefully it will be not too late.
You have a moral obligation to share some of the benefit you receive from your work with the developer of the product you cloned. What benefit are we talking about? Maybe a credit will be enough - ask the developer if you can. You can also release the code under fair code* license and share a portion of any potential monetary rewards with the developer.
Can I see anywhere what "more" means? Is this the complete list (from the footer)?
