I do indeed confirm.

It was in Trento, 1st of june 2009 when we of the italian community met.

Andrea Rossato, an internationally recognized law expert, was there
with us. We analyzed side-by-side the CCBYSA and the odbl, and he came
out with a final statement than can be translated to english as "ODbL
is CC BY-SA without the problems"
