This was before my time, but from what I understand it was not a vote on
whether to switch to ODbL, but whether to start the process of creating a
license and deciding whether we should switch.

I ignored these unofficial polls as meaningless, and probably many others
did too (or didn't even know about them, not being on the talk list).


Here in Florida when they put a constitutional amendment on the ballot, it
has a brief description and a short summary of its effects. Applied to an
ODbL vote, this would comprise how the OSMF believes cc-by-sa is flawed and
the effect it will have on the contributions of those who do not agree to
the change.
