I agree on that,  The CTS are unacceptable for me to.

for the ODBL, I am interested in seeing how it will play out. I wil
wait and see on that license.

Also since we are on the topic, I think that many people who are in
the USA cannot legally sign the CT anyway because the would have to
ask the employeer for permission. If you have signed a NDA you might
be affected, some companies claim all employees copyright. see the
discussion on the CC list.
