I'm personally still unsure about what the OSMF actually is supposed to do. 
When it says that:

"The OpenStreetMap Foundation is an international not-for-profit organization 
supporting, but not controlling, the OpenStreetMap Project."

then why is it making all the decisions on the new license? Or am I then 
misunderstanding how the whole process is taking place?
