Lots of my edits of March 2010 which I did in the area of the Jizera Mountains somehow lost the information that I created those. Lets look at just one example here:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.872951&lon=15.236824&zoom=18&layers=M

When selecting Way 68344945 in this area using the data overlay of the flyout I now get the following information for this way:

Way 68344945 Details
highway: residential

Although it says "source: IOOI:GPS" because I tagged this way like this I appear nowhere in the edit history, also not on the pages with the detailed information:

This is quite strange since I can clearly see it in my original change set:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4037915

but there this part of the way is somehow missing from the list of ways:

Has the following 7 ways:
51756129, v1
51756132, v1
51756134, v1
51756135, v1
51756137, v1
51414759, v3
51511807, v2

Btw. the ways-parts right before and after Way 68344945 still bear my initial creation edit entry:

And this was only one example out of many of my edits in the Jizera Mountains for which this happened. I leave it to the reader to examine other edits of my history.

So after my lengthy indroduction / eplanation now my questions: Does somebody know what is going on here? What implications does this have in legal ways e.g. I for instance applied to the new contributor terms. So what legal status does a way I created bear when it no loger can be attributed to me but to some mapper who might not have applied to the new contributor terms? Just curious!
