Well it would have been a compromise for those wo want access to PD  
data because they'd only get stuff that is a year old, and it would  
have been a compromise for you because you would "protect the  
freedom" only for the most recent data, which (I believe) is the most  
valuable and thus needs your protection most.

What would we lose if the February 2007 planet file became public  
domain now? Could any realistic threat to our project or the freedom  
of our current data be constructed from that?

Bye
Frederik
