Thinking in terms of a NEW user, who is already facing a steep learning curve to contribute to OSM, and who has by default accepted the new CT, and may not even know about the license change, such a person has every right to expect that his/her contributions will “stick” and not disappear next spring because s/he did not know to look first for whether it is OK to edit something already in the OSM database.
This is the primary reason I haven't tried to create any local OSM meetups.
But, (Smacking self up-side the head), I spent a block of time over the last 2 weeks fixing up an area that had been edited by some newbies - in too much of a hurry to check the license view. And now that I check the license view, I see that the whole area will be nuked back to the state of 2008 or so. So 80n's suggestion about disallowing edits to non-CT data isn't so bad. It makes sense only to delete it at this time.
