I am not against a fork,

but as Frederik already mentioned, there is no to debate about a fork and
spread anti-odbl propaganda. There are other good reasons to fork, for me
one of them is getting a more distributed database instead of everything in
a single farm on a single location.

I would not mind to discuss a fork, but I would prefer to see good arguments
as to the why (keeping the current license being one)

My 2 cents would be:

- Being able to set up a globally distributed database "farm"
- Changing from mysql to postgresql/postgis as the core database
- Opening up on how to set up the core open-geodata database and creating
your own node

I am aware that this will introduce new issues, but as long as we keep an
open discussion, not excluding any ideas and any group of people, it might
be of benefit to all
