You mean all you had to do to do your tax, was check a checkbox and
click accept?  Or did you also provide information persuant to what was
asked of you, in order to complete the process?

This basically just shows the issues that will arise with the change to
contract law.  In your jurisdiction, what youve done may be legally
acceptable, but in others it is not.  I suspect that the number of
places that have different contract laws is significantly higher than
those places that dont recognise CC-BY-SA, but there must be a small
select group for who the old licence doesnt work but the new one fits
their requirement.  Maybe we should all move to this magical place.. at
least with that many mappers in one place, OSM might start being
completed.
