Indeed, I was concentrating on the big guys. Albania isn't a big guy. 
Not sure what your point is about imports but neither GB nor Germany 
have particularly significant numbers of imports - the only major import 
we've ever had in Britain is a few counties' worth of bus-stops!

But this is rather the point, isn't it?

No matter what point I might make, you're going to read the From: line, 
see that "it's from one of the ODbL guys", and argue against it. And 
yes, I'm sure some of us are guilty of that too.

The two sides are irreconcilable. There really isn't any need to keep 
sniping back and forth like this. Can we not just agree to differ: you 
go forward with FOSM-CC, we go forward with OSM-ODbL, and people 
contribute to whichever project they prefer?
