I think in the wake of the license change we will have to develop a 
number of very interesting metrics telling us which objects - or maybe 
even which properties of an object - we need to discard because somebody 
hasn't agreed to the new license.

The same metrics could then obviously be used to filter out how much of 
a PD edit is really PD.

Bye
Frederik
