Well I (and others) use OSM data for very good reasons: it would be a real pain to have recreate it just to put it into OHM. The approach taken with OSM was to check with OGL folk who's data was in use if they were happy being credited as OpenStreetMap contributors (available as a page on the wiki). OHM will undoubtedly run into issues with attribution, but in practice so does any other project on an inter-connected web.
My general concern is that many prospective academic users would expect a CC-BY-SA-NC licence. I suspect that we need richer techniques for attribution over & above OSM; less to meet source providers needs to make make the data acceptable to consumers.
