About a year ago, Bavaria held a referendum to ban smoking in just about all indoor public places including pubs, restaurants and Beer Tents. Non-smokers were free to vote "no", and we must presume that many did. But because the vote was carried they are no longer free to smoke in those places. They are, of course, free to use them without smoking indoors. Just as opponents of the OSM licence change will be free to participate in OSM post-change, just not under their preferred terms. It seems a perfect analogy.
