Ok, well then if this is so, then we dont need to leave the license
question open as in the CT. Why all the drama then?

If I can resolve this question, then it should not be a problem for me
to convince people to add the odbl clause to people providing data.

I cannot ask people to agree to an open license, that is out of the
question, but odbl for database rights does not seem to be a problem.

It occurs me then under certain condions then cc-by-sa data from
europe which has database rights anyway might be just fine and a moot
point.

thanks for your answers and opinions,

mike
