  This is the primary reason I haven't tried to create any local OSM 
meetups.

    But, (Smacking self up-side the head), I spent a block of time over 
the last 2 weeks fixing up an area that had been edited by some newbies 
- in too much of a hurry to check the license view.   And now that I 
check the license view, I see that the whole area will be nuked back to 
the state of 2008 or so.   So 80n's suggestion about disallowing edits 
to non-CT data isn't so bad.   It makes sense only to delete it at this 
time.
