Well, since all history of that data before API v0.5 is lost, and the
oldest history known is of the last person editing it, you don't know
who created it. Therefore you don't know if this data is created by
someone who agrees to the CT and/or the license move.
Isn't the conclusion then that that data should be deleted?
