Because. as I explained to you yesterday, CC-BY-SA does not allow 
redistribution of data under a different license; so once the data is 
distributed under ODbL, anything that is CC-BY-SA and not relicensed has 
to be removed.

Next thing you request to see the board meeting minutes that give the 
reason why we're not allowed to copy from Google, and when it turns out 
that there has never been a decision by the board that says "we will 
respect other people's copyright" you say "then we should not respect 
other people's copyright".

That's absurd, and you're making a clown of yourself by repeating your 
question every two days.

Bye
Frederik
