TIGER isn't a good example of a successful import. The TIGER import killed a fledgling community in the US, which is now only slowly recovering. TIGER has masses of data without anyone taking any ownership. Do we really need inaccurate, incorrectly tagged data for a dirt track crossing the Rockies? Nic, local example... Durban South Africa, we imported a dataset, the few new mappers who were starting up these stopped mapping and haven't returned post import. The import data is now stagnating. The imported data also has many errors. Yes, the ODbL + CT may raise the bar on imports by making sure the supplied data is on _OUR_ terms. I think this is a good thing.
