I'm asking about Clause 2: specifically,
why does OSMF need special rights over contributors' data?
OSM(F) needs to be able to place contributions under BY-SA now and later
under the ODbL.
Why do they need to do this?
So that the data(base) can be switched to ODbL.
Specifically, why can't the contributors
do this themselves?
They are agreeing to the change.
OSM(F) may also need to relicence the data again in future, as Clause 3
indicates. Clause 2 makes this possible.
I understand that explanation. But not the other one.
From the point of view of two or five years ago, this is the future.
