but seriously, the license team is not concerned about porting the

Well the "license team" does not *gain* anything from you signing the
contributor terms, so what should they do for you in return?
The license team is part of OSMF and OSMF does gain a lot in signing
the contributor terms. It gains the right to exploit the data in the
database.
The Contributor Terms require a 2/3 majority and a "free and open
license". If you truly believe that the word "at whim" is a correct
desription for that, consult a dictionary.
Why is that 2/3 majority not sought for the current license move?

Maarten
