As I asked you before, will I be able to use this data under the proposed new regulations?
Why, of course! You will be able to use OS OpenData under the rules they come under. This is completely independent of OSM. Even if OSM's and OS's licenses were totally incompatible that would not reduce the usefulness of one or the other. If you mean "use this (OS) data to create new objects in OSM", please don't!
I utterly, totally, fail to understand why one would want to copy OS data into OSM. If you think that OS data is good for you, just draw your map from OS data. If you would like OS data for your base map but cycleways from OSM - go ahead, it's a simple matter of rendering rules.
There is a near infinite amount of free geodata on this planet, believe it or not; there is no way that OSM will ever be able to import all of this - and why should we?
