Dear Frank,

I trust that if the percentage is too low, the OSMF will find another
approach.  I'm guessing, because it is impossible to know, that we'll
promote 90%-95% of the data to ODbL.  Even data that can not be
promoted to ODbL will still be available in the "last cc-by-sa
planet".  So it won't be lost and thrown away, just left behind.
