For the record, my vote is strongly for the spirit of CC-BY-SA (as long as it delivers). At STOM7 there was precious little preparation and as a result I don't think the vote should be taken very seriously. We must remember that this is a very fast moving legal area, the wikipedia GNU problem mentions that SOTM may well soon be.
There are clearly uncertainties and complications with the current licence, however it does allow for the license to be upgraded without going back to original contributors for permission. As such I feel confident that CC could come up with a derivative of CC-BY-SA 3.0 that covers our needs and plug the gaps (and those of other gedata/DB type datasets generally); after all, if the ODL can do it then why can't CC do it Anyway, let's continue batting this one around and see where we get to, but I am focusing on a CC-BY-SA style license that works, not a PD vs CC-BY-SA debate. Btw, where should this debate be happening? Personally I suggest the legal nerdy details are discussed on legal-talk but any discussion about principles are discussed on 'talk' .
