There will always be restrictions on the project, because there are
lots of data sources and data users using data under lots of different
licenses. if you must insist on making this remark, at least make it
truthfully:

"imports should not put undue restrictions on the project for end users."

It still seems short sighted that current contributors must be the
ones to suffer the shift in restrictions for the benefit of end users.
