*If* we were simply being asked about a change of license you'd have a
valid argument, but we're not, the CTs are very open ended with a very
low barrier for change to occur.

We can't just agree to the ODBL we have to take the poison of the CT with it...

Stick to the comments made, not what you wish they were...

It doesn't effect me, I'm just repeating what others have told me,
they seem to be of a different opinion... I believe CC-by-SA v2 also
allows you to also use country specific cc-by-sa licenses, so take
your pick on that, the outcome is the same...
