As you are going to be waiting a long time to collect, could you actually explain why you have gone from being a Public Domain activist to an ODbL activist.
I'm quite sure the PD club were asked to make a new mailing list to take Public Domain discussions off legal-talk, and that you were part of that PD club.
That's correct. But I'm surprised about your interest in the matter, because of all the problems you see with the current license change, only very few would be different with a PD license. All Nearmap-derived imagery would have to be deleted, as would have anything released CC-BY from the Australian government. This is not what you want, so I assume you would oppose a PD move even more resolutely than you oppose the current change.
The reason why I decided to support CT+ODbL is that I'm pragmatic; it is certainly better than what we have, and it is achievable, whereas while I might personally like PD better, that is not achievable.
