Are we sure that CC-BY is any more incompatible with ODbL that what we're doing now? I mean, nominally we have CC-BY-SA but data.australia.gov.au is not listed on the maps anywhere... If CC-BY were really unusable for us then my completely unoffical take on this would be: If you have only inferred a very small number of elements then just ignore it and say yes. If we're talking about a lot of data, and if you have put proper "source" tags in or tagged your changesets in a way that makes them discernible, then we can find a way to open a new account and transfer this "tainted" data to the new account and you then accept the relicensing with your old account. Lawyers might scorn me for this but I think it is ok to do this on a "best effort" basis, i.e. if we should miss one data item or another during such a process then we're not going to be sued to death because of that.
