I think that's a good outcome. My point was just that people seem to be overly fixated on law in a way that is not similar to how everything else is approached. Do people realize that in my state, and likely everywhere else, that you need a special license to sell milk/dairy? And that there are likely pages of regulations that define exactly what that means, and how it must be pasteurzied? But OSM doesn't care; it's just a food item, and that's how it should be. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
