We'll lose people whichever way it goes.

I guess, for example, that Etienne might not contribute to an ODbL-licensed
OSM.

Similarly, if OSM decides to stay with CC-BY-SA, I will leave the project.

That's why forks are good: people can choose to contribute to the project
that most closely fits their beliefs.
