I dont want/need share-alike - and i'd be happy with PD - And thats
the problem where my frustration stems from. It might be that CC-BY-SA
is unsuitable for our project - But the LWG in my visibility only
cared on another Share-Alike license and not about the general consensus
whether joe mapper WANTS relicensing, and if we want to have
relicensing which WAY we want to head down - More openess and freedom or
more share-alike and protection ....

From the beginning it was set in stone that we gonna relicense and we are
going down the Share Alike path ... It was just a matter of name of the
license and making it as multifold and tight that it should fit into
any jurisdication.

Probably the mass is happy with a defunct license which is not enforcable
and must be seen as a whishlist, or would like to drop most of the legal
stuff and more care on interesting usage than on "big corp stealing our data"
