My argument is neither motivated by fear nor requires fear in order to 
make the point that I believe it does. And I do not believe that the 
general argument in favour of allowing relicencing does either.

I think we both agree that the on-going usefulness of the data is 
important. If we differ on what the likely events that might affect that 
usefulness are then that doesn't mean that either of our arguments are 
emotive rather than rational.

Small, unlikely, but important.
