For my 3D rendering projects, I'd love more building height data. But
the fact that this data source is ODbL-licensed (according to your wiki
page) makes importing it a bad idea.

While the re-licensing option in the Contributor Terms surely won't be
used anytime soon, it's still extremely valuable for future-proofing
OSM. It gives us the ability to adapt to a changing legal environment,
if that becomes necessary. Importing OdbL-only data undermines this ability.

In the past, government data sources have sometimes granted an explicit
permission to use their data for contributing to OSM, not limited to a
particular license. Is there any chance for such an solution in Montpellier?
