Out of curiosity, what would have been better? The licence has been recognised to be a problem for years, it was known well before I joined. It's been discussed at almost every OSM meeting I've been at. But you're right, we didn't plaster a huge banner on the front page advertising it because frankly that would be pointless. How many people knew wikipedia had a licence problem before they changed? I thought there was a message added while creating an account along the line of "the data is under CC-BY-SA but may be changed at some later date". hmm, looks like that never happened, oh well. I'm just wondering what kind of notification would have been appropriate for you.
