I'm tending to agree now. TBH I'm not really "for" the licence change given the effect on the data... but given it's going to happen,
I'd prefer to get it all over with.

For one thing I know I personally will be more motivated to remap if gaping holes appear, than I might be presently... though I have done
a bit in the last couple of weeks.
