It is my understanding that it is planned to retain CC-BY-SA for now.

There's really nothing to be said against changing to a CC-BY license or 
so in the future (read: a good while after the license change has gone 
through). On the other hand, given that it is relatively easy to set up 
your own tile server, maybe we don't want to make ours *too* attractive 
to everyone because our resources (bandwidth, computing) are limited!
