Since things seem to be going head first towards ODBL shouldn't that
license also be considered when advising people about compatibility
with the CT, otherwise it could be seen as very misleading and/or
deceitful if they have full knowledge that it could mislead people.

The ODBL and CT are being sold as a package deal, so that's how things
should always be treated.

Even with the current wording in the CT there is no guarantee that
future license changes would definitely remove any data not
compatible, so there and then that should be a show stopper over
compatibility, the CT simply isn't compatible with any CC license
other than CC0.
