The wiki will give some guidance on how to clean tainted objects.

That page says
---
A node moved by a non-agreeing mapper is tainted.

Clean that node by moving it. ---

That seems to say that if the JOSM license check tool shows a node as orange then to fix it I just need to move that node a small amount. That doesn't sound right. I would think that I would need to either move it back to the nodes original position (to where the node was before the first non-ct editor touched it) OR place the node somewhere based on on independent source (bing, canvec, my gps traces,...). I don't see how whatever tools OSM will use to ensure that database is ODBL clean in April will be able to tell the difference between those and a casual adjusting of a nodes position in the course of editing. Isn't deleting/replacing the node from an independent source the safe thing to do?

I would hate to spend time now 'fixing' now only to find out it three months that my fixes still left the data as ODBL dirty.
