Fair enough Frederik, if it's a legal subtlety then I probably don't want to
know! :)

But I do feel slightly uncomfortable that my edits, which I've now agreed
should be licensed under ODbL, can currently be used by fosm to build a
CC-by-SA competitor project which aims to divide our community.

But only because fosm can currently stay in sync with OSM and still claim
CC-by-SA on updates that are made under the new CTs by contributors that
agree with the move to ODbL.
