Well... a feature that would allow Google to assimilate our minutely diffs into their giant database where they mix it with TeleAtlas and Navteq data to provide tiles that display the "best of three worlds" and neither share the tiles nor anything in between. That "feature" is something that was introduced without so much as a word from anyone between the April 2008 and the 0.9 drafts. If this were intentional, then someone had to hang for trying to deceive the community. And I would personally tie the rope because I have tirelessly advocated ODbL to anyone who was stupid enough to ask me by saying that we let go of Produced Works and replace this with demands made on interim derived databases that would never see the light of day under CC-BY-SA. But... cockup rather than conspiracy.
