Yes, we _could_.

It would require a 2/3 majority of “active [OSM] contributors”, which is 
(intentionally) a large number (about 250,000 at the time of writing). 
I'm sorry, but a licence change to remove the share alike part of the 
OSM licence has microscopic chance of passing... You'll just have to 
accept it.
