This actually depends.

If the majority of the community (including OSMF and the sysads who run the
servers) agrees with the license change, why should the onus of forking be
on the license-change agreers? If this is indeed the case, then the ones who
should fork are those for CC-BY-SA 2.0.

Right now, we are in the process of determining if the majority of the
community indeed agrees. Once we have enough data and visualization tools to
see the effect of the license change, then the community can decide whether
to change the license or not.
