Do I think it's bad? Everything I contribute to OSM is PD. Of course I don't. But the point is that by using this loophole, I can create a map which contains proprietary data/other elements, and is unattributed. The user _cannot_ choose to distribute it further: to do so would break the conditions of CC-BY-SA, as the proprietary elements cannot be relicensed. This, to me, seems to be entirely against what CC-BY-SA seeks to achieve.
