No, I'll simply take his data and upload it under an account which I 
sign up to ODbL.

I'm against wholesale taking data and re-licensing it under the 
assumption that it is unprotected anyway. But if there is someone who, 
for whatever reason, cannot be bothered to fill out the form, but tells 
me that they consider their data PD, then I have no problem uploading a 
copy of their data.

If it later turns out they lied, or were certifiably insane at the time 
they made the statement, I can always remove it again.

Bye
Frederik
