Sure - but isn't the supposed advantage of the ODbL/DbCL setup that it makes it
clearer what is and isn't allowed? As far as I can tell it tends to make things
murkier and more clouded by legalese.
That's one reason why I think a dual licence under both the proposed new licences
and the existing CC-BY-SA is a good idea - because it provides a guarantee beyond
doubt that all currently allowed uses of the map data will still be okay.
