Hmmm so it seems that Fredrick thinks it's ok to loose people as long as they aren't from the pro-PD crowd...
The idea is to try and lose the smallest number of people in the process while doing what is necessary. This requires that everyone is paid respect. Telling people that they are stupid and their ideas crap is not a good way to move forward.
Obviously, we'd lose the smallest number of people if we'd just abandon license change and continue with CC-BY-SA; however I am firmly with the LWG on that this endangers the project's success in several ways and should not be attempted.
I realize that there are others who believe that the lawyers advising OSMF are wrong, and that CC-BY-SA could indeed be used further. I have doubts about this and would like the proponents of that idea put forward concrete plans about how to implement CC-BY-SA in an internationally balanced way (so that e.g. users in the US do not have more rights than users in Europe or Australia), and also how to handle attribution. These things are currently broken with CC-BY-SA and if someone wants to retain that license he should demonstrate how they can be fixed.
