As you probably know we are almost in PHASE 4 of the license change process of Openstreetmap.
The implementation plan (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Database_License/Implementation_Plan) shows that we will do the switch this year and that all users declined the new license are not able to access openstreetmap.org anymore.
While I expect the most readers had already accepted the new license there are still a lot of people in Israel undecided.
TOP10 of users that have not decided yet:

Here you can see what data may be lost if nobody else excepts the license:

And here you can see what will be left after the 1. April (only showing ODBL license agreed data):
http://cleanmap.poole.ch/?zoom=13&lat=32.07761&lon=34.83008&layers=B000
As far as I understood we can avoid a deletion of data by recreating ways / nodes or relations of those users.
We should somehow think of a plan to avoid the delete of important places.
Beside that: Does anybody know how to contact user : TALBA ?
