[Foundation-l] Creative Commons CC-BY-SA Draft Statement of Intent

The whole process was far from transparent and you are continuing with
writing rationalizations for keeping the process nontransparent.
Changing the license is not only a matter of the Board, but it is a
matter of all contributors.

I don't remember that I've seen any professional analysis of what we
are getting and what we are losing by switching from one to another
license. There were only amateur arguing (including your, Erik's,
mine, Gregory's, Gerard's...) pro and contra one or another license.
(If there was such analysis, please, give me a link.)
