Indeed - though there are cases where ODbL non-acceptors have made
edits in the middle of an object's history, or where a crude original
by a non-accepting editor has spawned a useful, but still tainted
descendent. And that's fine - we all understand that we have to accept
this kind of setback as the cost of progress.

But it does serve as a guarantee that nobody will be sidelining the
licence skeptics any time soon.
