Only a question: Node A_1 is created as CC-BY-SA. Node A_2 (same as A_1) is created as ODbL. What a mess whould happen? When I'm editing, I'm editing A_1? Or maybe A_2?
Or if: Node A_1 exists under CC-BY-SA. Node A_2 (same as A_1) is created under PD. The CC map will have both nodes. Am I wrong or it would be a giant mess? I like the idea (or, at least, the basic idea) but I think the implementation would create giant messes.
