That's correct. But I'm surprised about your interest in the matter, 
because of all the problems you see with the current license change, 
only very few would be different with a PD license. All Nearmap-derived 
imagery would have to be deleted, as would have anything released CC-BY 
from the Australian government. This is not what you want, so I assume 
you would oppose a PD move even more resolutely than you oppose the 
current change.

The reason why I decided to support CT+ODbL is that I'm pragmatic; it is 
certainly better than what we have, and it is achievable, whereas while 
I might personally like PD better, that is not achievable.

Bye
Frederik
