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
