I agree that this would be good but it would need a very balanced and unbiased person to write it, because the role of "writer of abstracts to the masses" carries quite some political power. It would be relatively easy to find some people to summarize the status quo as "ODbL introduction is going along nicely, slowed down a bit but basically proceeding to plan, everyone does their bit and we're moving in the right direction, great people doing an awesome job", and it would be equally easy to find people summarizing the status quo as "major showstoppers still unclear and likely to remain so, legal opinion split, ODbL dead in the water". The difficulty is finding out which of these descriptions is true, or more likely, where in between these two reality lies...
