Please don’t confuse people who don’t accept the ODbL (plus DbCL) with
those who don’t accept the CTs plus the ODbL (plus the DbCL).  The ODbL,
IMO, is a good fit, the CTs aren’t (although I have to admit not having
evaluated the most recent revision yet).

Not that it makes any difference to the general agreement/non‐agreement
of OSM’s terms.
