"OpenStreetMap is changing its license. This requires user affirmation. Read License change information or Translated texts. You can state your decision here." (German says something different?) Respectfully, I honestly do not believe this JOSM banner is the cause. The banner is informative and provides the mechanism for the reader to potentially agree to the terms. As has been pointed out there is a much higher probability people are looking at the http://osm.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/map/ and contacting others based on that. If people feel ready to agree to the terms then by all means please go for it, but the Licensing Working Group is not yet actively asking the great community. There will be an email out to the community asking them to agree later and then, only once the decline option is available. In closing; if there are people doing broad (not to people they know) "relicense now now now" style messages my word to them is relax and hold fire. This is not a race.
