Do you know what will happen if I do not agree with the CT permanently?
In the long run there will be generally no room in OSM for data which
has not been added under CT.
It is possible for OSMF to make exceptions for individual cases, e.g. if
you have used your account to import a lot of data which comes under a
license that is ODbL compatible but not CT compatible then it is
possible that OSMF makes a special deal with you.
OSMF will be interested in keeping the number of such "special deals"
low for two reasons:
1. Every one creates a lot of work to negotiate and set up.
2. Data which is in OSM based on such "deals" is a liability if OSMF
ever wanted to do another license change. If that happens, data under
such "deals" would have to be individually re-negotiated, again causing
a lot of work, and there would be a potential data loss in the future.
I'm not saying it can't be done; I am pretty sure it will be done for 2
or 3 or 10 cases worldwide.
