You're new to the project obviously. Welcome! If you're interested in 
the background story to the license change, and why we consider CC 
unsuitable, I recommend that you read the archives of the legal-talk 
list (see http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk) as well as 
the various Wiki articles (you'll notice the license change banner on 
wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki right away).

If, thereafter, any questions remain, you can ask then on the legal-talk 
list and I'm sure they will be promptly answered.

Bye
Frederik
