I think it is kind of a misinterpretation. The point is, that the data should not only comply with our current licence but that the importer can assure that other free and open licences (see CT) are acceptable, too. > By this way the amount of data loss will be an argument pro or > against a new licence in the same way some data were loss during > the migration from CC-by_S to ODBL due to impossible relicencing It should not be an argument regarding a license change! It has to be an argument wether to import data or not! Once you imported data, there will not be a need for mappers to map *that* data again. So you'll be responsible for data that has a dubious legal state. I really hope the DWG will stop any such imports immediately as it's a clear time bomb.
