But do you understand and agree with the new Contributor Terms?

I also accepted it. I also selected the 'I consider my work to be public domain' option.
I'm ok with anyone using my uploaded data, and it doesn't matter if it's Google or some big corporation "making money".
I prefer the greater freedom of a totally free license.
The benefit to me is that my mountain bike trail can be routable on anyone's system, which benefits me as a mountain biker, because now, I can say 'Lets ride the Seymour Valley Trail' and a more open license lets that path be on more systems.

So and now you decided to tell everybody and to clog the blog?

Well there's certainly worse stuff "clogging the blog" (new users keep thinking it's a good place to ask questions)
I think at this stage the license working group would like to see people spread the word, and encourage others to click to accept. My understanding is that they're deliberately holding back on publicity, while making final tweaks the contributor terms. In the meantime why not support it with a diary entry?

Because it is not a diary entry ranting about the new license or telling people to boycott it!
I have no clue what is supposed to go into "diary posts" and I do not see any way to abuse the system apart from spamming.
I fully support the new license and also (even more) the public domain.

It's nice to see something in the diary that mentions the licensing situation and isn't a lengthy diatribe on how the new terms are evil, OSMF are agents of Satan, and that tainted contributions debar you from pressing the magic button, etc. ad naus. (Coincidentally, this is why I refuse to subscribe to the mailing lists.)
