A LOT.

A BY license however would be much easier in the drafting stages, but  
still would involve some time and back and forth for the public beta  
and any revisions.  I don't want to miss an opportunity, but I think  
it might be a little too soon to start back up again.  We may want to  
build out more resources for the ODbL first.

Anywho.... we'll see what we see when we chat with them.
