This is probably all that the CTs should say, I know that the
translation into legalese can blow it to an entire page of text but
the current version definitely sneaks in some more statements.

In fact if there was no explicit document called CT (and just a
checkbox saying "I contribute to an ODbL database"), I think you could
argue that the implied contributor terms were nearly the same.

Fortunately the CTs rolled out in May should not pose problems with
changing to a better version.

Cheers
