I agree.   I don't particularly dislike the ODBL, but I am not
comfortable with CT that grants the project permission to relicense
under non-share-alike terms later.

I've been too busy to map much due to personal and work issues lately,
but I find that the (pushy, in my perception) relicensing issue makes me
less inclined to participate.
