Here is an excerpt from the recent board meeting minutes:

"* How to handle potential forks (mail of TimSC)
Board hands this issue to the strategic working group with the guideline
to keep the data under the primary license."

I think it is clear that with the effort put in the license change the
idea to handle a fork under the umbrella of the OSMF is not capable of
winning a majority within the OSMF. Otherwise it would make more sense
to establish an ODbL fork rather than changing the license of the
primary database.
