Maybe you're misunderstanding. A PD dedication isn't a requirement for
adding data to OSM, but it is the easiest way to go becaus

Well, I'll withdraw the suggestion; I wasn't party to those conversations
and I'm finding them to be essentially unsearchable due to the license
transition conversations around CC-BY-SA.
I will note that CC itself soft-pedaled the significance of the attribution

the pure public domain or anything closest to it, the entities are
sometimes reluctant to go that far. Some might accept CC0 (and PDDL
