This "last-CC-planet.osm" will have NO worth for further work
in OSM, because of the data in it is "dirty".
The data is lost for the ODBL-OSM, this OSM including active mapper
community. A fork is also NO solution.

I don't want to play this game.
But at now it is the only possibility to "vote" also against the
process of licence change

I rais my voice as you can read here.
If you know a better place: give a pointer to it.

I still hope for zero loss
