Whoever is chosen to "host" the licence. I don't believe this has been
decided yet.

CC licences deal with this by saying that licensed works can only move
forward to "a later version of this License with the same License Elements
as this License". The way to address this explicitly in ODbL would be to add
similar text to 4.4.a.ii. There was, indeed, such text in there at one point
- I can't remember why it was taken out.
