Could you please just stop talk about that? Decision is *already* made
and that's it. It is not only impractical, it is too late to turn back
now. Most of data will be preserved. Some of data will be recollected
and/or redrawn.

ODbL has issues for sure, but it is more clear about factual data used
in OSM, and it has several advantages over CC, especially in
republishing area. So it is done deal. If you don't like it, fine, no
one holds you here.

Cheers,
Peter.
