Of course they said that, they only support PD-like licenses *as a
policy*.
It's pretty stupid but that's their policy. It's like the RIAA have a
closed policy and the consensus is viral in OSM.
Yours &c.

Creative Commons, of course, has practising copyright lawyers too.
They have
said that CC-BY-SA isn't applicable to data and we shouldn't use it.
They also said this about the ODbL:
"In brief, we believe that the ODbL is incompatible with the goals
we have articulated in the Science Commons Protocol for Implementing
Open Access Data, that it creates barriers that can impede the free
and open exchange and reuse of data and databases, that it may
create unintended consequences for both data providers and users,
and that it does not well serve the essential purposes of public
data sharing, particularly in education and science." http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ODbL_comments_from_Creative_Commons
