At the moment people are concentrating on the rights grant in the CTs, yes.

The rights grant makes sense given that OSM is a root project in its own 
right rather than merely an aggregator or "distro" of other projects' data.

People have objected to it being a data share-alike rather than a map 
share-alike, and to how it may or may not work with their national law 
and government-provided data.
