The people *I* spoke to would probably answer this question in the same 
pragmatic fashion in which we do everything in OSM - if there's a whole 
city quarter that's red, which has only ever been touched by mapper X, 
and mapper X has made it clear that he'd rather see his data deleted 
than agreeing to the CT, then let's fix that first. (Any subsequent 
edits by mapper X would not negate that effort - they would be thrown 
out with the license change and the newly surveyed stuff would still be 
there.)

After those clear-cut cases have been fixed, one can look into the 
murkier areas.

 From what I gather, only a fraction of project members understand 
CC-BY-SA. There are many questions about our *current* license for which 
you will not get clear-cut answers from OSMF because there are none.

I suggest you take a deep breath. There's no reason to get all upset. 
It'll all work out nicely.

Bye
Frederik
