This old saw again, "JohnSmith"?  Every time the community is asked,
they support progress in the form of ODbL rather than the
inappropriate CC-By-SA.  Here is the latest feedback for you.

So you can help too.

Would you like to contact a CC-By or CC-By-SA data publisher and
request permission to contribute their data to OSM under ODbL / CT?

Would you like to participate in the discussion of exactly how and
which data should be excluded when OSM proceeds?

Would you like to recommend to other mappers to avoid problematic
sources until things are settled in the long term?

Would you like to meet with, coach and encourage new mappers?
