Sorry, but that's not completly correct.

According to http://blog.osmfoundation.org/2012/09/06/your-first-odbl-planet/,
starting with the next planet file, the data will be under ODBL.

And the data from the current path will stay with the old license,
the ODBL data will be find under a new location, so that you don't
mix up ODBL data and CC-by-SA data by accident.

More details will be posted in the next days.

So what you can download as of today is still CC-BY-SA and not ODBL,
you need to active switch the download directory to get ODBL data.
