Its about the new complexity - I am not against ODBL+CT + whatever per se.
It might be the better solution - although its much more complex as we
see - I would like the new license to be much simpler than before and i am
willing to pay to "price" of Share-Alikeness and other "protecting" elements.

I'd rather say - make it PD and lets continue mapping - Its not about
licenses but rather about community. 

I'll not relicense as it stands today as thats the only time i am beeing
asked about relicensing and the license - so the only choice i have
is to refuse relicensing now ...

1) Not that i believe in Share-Alike or believe in OSMF suing someone
   for abusing - neither does it make sense ...
