That's not what the CT says.  The CT says that OSMF can use "one or
more of the following licences".  If 2/3 of mappers agree to use
another free and open license, then OSMF can use that other license.
Or OSMF can choose not to use that other license.  Or OSMF can use
that other license *and* one or more of the explicitly listed
licenses.
