Growing agreement & relicensing OSM -Update-
by Pascal Neis - Published: March 12th, 2011
My last blog post about the growing agreement to the new CTs is now nearly three months ago. Time for a short update: During the aforementioned time frame, about 32 contributors accepted the new CTs every day. Overall this means that since October 21 2010 there are about 43 contributors each day who accepted the new CTs. I updated my diagram with the latest numbers:
In December I conducted an analysis about the “Change of OSM object numbers through relicensing”. This time I only declared the last modifier of an OSM object (node/way/relation) as the owner of the object! The last and the new results can be seen in the following diagrams:
In my OSM-user-database of March 9th, 2011 a total of 120456* members are the “owners” of the following OSM objects (* Notice: Not every member of the OSM project (>350000 members) has contributed!):
- Number of nodes: 1007604532
- Number of ways: 85365727
- Number of relations: 899145
As of March 9th, 2011, 8124 Users have accepted the new license. 35678 new OSM members (uid >= 286582) have accept the new contributor terms automatically. I created the following numbers of OSM objects, which will be available for relicensing (if you assume that the last modifier is the owner of the object):
- Number of nodes: 801700665 (79,56%) (as of Dec. 15th, 2010 it was 66,52%)
- Number of ways: 66236798 (77,59%) (as of Dec. 15th, 2010 it was 61,68%)
- Number of relations: 716130 (79,65%) (as of Dec. 15th, 2010 it was 62,14%)
Are you still interested in any analysis regarding this topic?
thx @ Dennis
[Update – March 24th, 2011]
The following diagramm shows the above numbers of March 9th, 2011 in percent:

Would be nice to have percentage- instead of absolute-numbers in the charts. Then you could fill all (user, nodes, ways, relations) in one diagram with all beeing good visible.
Would say more than in this way.
@Michi
done !
Did you ever checked if it happens often that way is “owned” by a person who’s pro-ODbL and way’s nodes aren’t?
Nope, up to now I did not check such things. But it could be interesting … mmh
Does this mean that 120456 – 8124 – 35678 = 76654 have not accepted the license?
Your numbers are correct, however, to be accurate, this means that these members did not agree to the new license yet …
Hallo pascal,
ich bin auf jeden Fall an weiteren Analysen interessiert. Wg. der bevorstehenden neuen “Phasen” wären allerdings kleinere Intervalle als 3 Monate interessant. 😉
@mightym
Danke , du bist der erste der darauf direkt antwortet 🙂 es lesen hunderte von leuten, aber reagiert hat bis jetzt noch keiner 🙁 naja wie auch immer, versuche bald wieder eine zu machen.
