the contributor terms introduce more problems, like the fact that it
prevents anyone from importing any derived works.
lets say i download the new cc-by-sa+odbl database make changes and
publish them, then you want to import them back, you cannot because I
did not agree to the terms.

so the sharealike just fails when you introduce cts with a copyright
assignment, in my opinion, or am I missing something?

Basically the CTs prevent any other compatible OSM servers to share
data with osm, it creates an island of data with no way to share with
anyone except via usage.
