Just to make clear, I’m very much in agreement that CC-by-sa is unsuitable for OSM, and in favour of a new licence (ODbL, maybe) that will clear some of the use cases up. I’m just not about to stand down just because some people wanting to use the data in a particular way don’t want to abide by share-alike terms either.
