They could probably make ODbL a compatible license but that wouldn't
satisfy those wanting the ability to upgrade to another free and open
license, let alone all the rights granted in the current Contributor
Terms.  These people would still want everything that is used by OSM
under ODbL to be re-mapped from scratch.

Of course Creative Commons could in theory make PDDL a compatible
license, or something else that supposedly satisfies the CT, but that
would hurt so many other projects, authors, artists, who used a CC
license.

Cheers
