Plenty of people have been pointing this out, but those that should be listening aren't and as a result OSM has gone from almost exponential growth to stagnant growth to negative growth... The fact that people are turning away from OSM should be a huge wake up call, but sadly no one is listening... > It's too late. You have to live with CC-By-SA, even if it's not > perfect.
