I also like the idea of share-alike, but in reality it’s a problem because it 
prevents use of open data by other open data projects as soon as they don’t use 
the exact same license. Remember the redaction of OSM data because we changed 
from one share alike to another? Or the incompatibility of wikipedia and osm? 
If we import data it’s a pro if there are no strings attached that would 
potentially force us to remove the data and contributions built upon this data 
in case of another (not so probable) license change.

cheers,
Martin
