Ah, we're going to enforce a Accept/Decline choice in a few days to continue, but the CTs currently shown are outdated?

I'd assumed the CTs that you got shown a few days before it got enforced would be the latest ones :)

I'll probably send this question to legal-talk when I get home, that sounds like it lets you upload data which is compatible with the current license but will need to be removed under a relicensing. Wasn't the whole point of the CTs that we could do relicensing (including CC-BY-SA to ODbL) without getting everyone's pemission?
