This was my idea from today, make a clause like the GPL has, v2 or any
future version published by the FSF.
that would eliminate the CTs and the madness. Make a OSM copyleft
license, or just use Creative commons 4.0 and any future version, then
we can get back to work.

I think it is a great error to introduce the CTs and it is a great
error to put faith in the OSMF board who show no responsibility,
better to put faith in the creative commons board who at least listen
to people and care about porting licenses.
