This refers to the idea of initiating a license change process.

The license change process is described in the contributor terms:

https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Contributor_Terms

It requires an OSMF members vote and a 2/3 majority support from the 
active OSM contributors in addition.  The only time in the past this 
was done was with the change to the ODbL in 2012 IIRC.

I won't publicly speculate on the motives of LWG members to float this 
idea - everyone can draw their own conclusions here... ;-)
