There was people, who strongly disagree with actual CT
terms, and only way to express that was to not confirm
CT and lost ability to participate in the project
in the future. But they did not want to damage work of
others and send permission to use their data under actual
license.

By the way, I strongly disagree with way CT has been established
too and I do not like that CT does not define mechanism
how are controlled changes in CT. But I have confirmed CT
after promise, that there would be some discussion.
The last e-mail from ODbL+CT advocate I received.

I have never got any ansfer from OSMF after that
nor for my other attempts to at least try to
find way how people disagreeing with CT could
be motivated to donate their future data under
ODbL to OSM and get back access to CC-BY-SA compatible
subset of OSM data.

I (for myself strongly demand) that my former and future
change sets can be exported from OSM under CC-BY-SA
but I have never got any better reply than "do not fear,
there would be no problems (with Wikipedia, exports, etc.)
or unfair CT or license change".

Best wishes,
