That page says
---
A node moved by a non-agreeing mapper is tainted.

     Clean that node by moving it.

That seems to say that if the JOSM license check tool shows a node as orange 
then to fix it I just need to move that node a small amount.  That doesn't 
sound right.  I would think that I would need to either move it back to the 
nodes original position (to where the node was before the first non-ct 
editor touched it) OR place the node somewhere based on on independent 
source (bing, canvec, my gps traces,...).  I don't see how whatever tools 
OSM will use to ensure that database is ODBL clean in April will be able to 
tell the difference between those and a casual adjusting of a nodes position 
in the course of editing.  Isn't deleting/replacing the node from an 
independent source the safe thing to do?

I would hate to spend time now 'fixing' now only to find out it three months 
that my fixes still left the data as  ODBL dirty.
