Comment from Nakaner
This changeset belongs to a large number of changesets with the same comment and mechanical user agent. It looks as you performed an import.
What is the source of this data? What's its license?
Where has this import been discussed and documented?
I ask you to answer my questions until tomorrow evening. Otherwise I will have to revert changeset 32620819 to 32605791 (and maybe back to 32443943).

Comment from Albert Bihler
Hello,
the data is from some freely (as in beer) available POI list.
I must addmit that I didn't think about any license issues. Neither I was aware that there is a whole process for doing mass midifications in openstreetmap.
Guess I'll have to ask the owner of the website for some kind of permission. Is there a template for such kind of requests that explains osm and the license?Best regards

Comment from R0bst3r
As long as there is no official permission no data should be copied from "freely available" lists. The reason is to preserve users from legal risks due to illegal use of data and violation of copyright.
More info about this revert can be found in german OSM forum here: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=31909
Happy mapping!
