Not a helpful suggestion. It's been explained many times why sticking
with CC-BY-SA on our geographical data set just isn't an option. These
reasons are what spurred the initial considerations of changing the
license all that time ago, and isn't something that's been undertaken
lightly. If you're not up to speed on why, then please go find out.

Cheers,
