I know mapper FK270673 caused some fuss in Australia back in November, and I
can’t say I endorse his recent actions here, but over on the OSM-legal-talk
list FK270673 has made what I consider is a very sensible license change
proposal.

I don’t know if it will gain traction, but it beats losing an easy quarter of
Australian content on 1 April.
(If the changeover happened right now we would lose 35%, source:

http://odbl.poole.ch/australia-20110919-20111212-poly.html)(I’vebeen keeping a
time series track of this, and from early October to mid December the CT
compliant proportion has only improved by a couple of % over that time)
This wouldn’t be a nice neat loss of non-acceptor data either, it would lose,
for example, where an acceptor added street names to streets traced by a
non-acceptor.
