Many might like to know, but the facts are that there are people who back both sides. The psychologists would tell you that this sort of argument that this list has had over the last month will NOT result in anyone changing their opinion. In fact it will polarise the two groups such that now we have suggestions that either the "CC-by-SA -> New licence" camp or the "PD" group should up and leave. I would like to be able to discuss the new licence, the new database licensing scheme and the use cases. I am thinking about filtering all mail from this list that contains PD into /dev/null, but would prefer not to. I would like to make it quite clear that if you want to divide the OSM project, you have found an excellent way to do so. If you want to have one project then a change of tack to discussing the actual licence proposals would be more fruitful.
