Sorry to be pedantic but the wording of the OSMF member vote is:
Do you approve the process of moving OpenStreetMap to the ODbL?
Yes, I approve.
No, I do not approve.
Unfortunately this sentence on which we are asked to vote has at least two
meanings
1) Do you approve of the process? [as in the procedural method used]
2) Do you approve of the change.
I presume the intention is it to mean (2), but the wording is much closer to
(1).
Ironically simply by definition of the poor wording it is unlikely I could
agree to the process, irrespective of my actual views on CC-BY-SA v ODbL.
