The wiki is the wiki ... aka anybody can edit it. You should likely not be relying on it as primary source for legal advice for your company.
Specifically the page in question has a header that reads: "This wiki page was used for discussion and development of the move to the Open Database License. It is not legal advice, and is likely to be inaccurate or incomplete. Please do not use this page as a reference for what you can or can't do." That is meant seriously. Please have a look at http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Community_Guidelines for current clarifications and guidelines (likely horizontal layers and trivial transformations). While I'm sure cloud storage providers would love us to do so, we do not require essentially unmodified extracted OSM data to be provided separately.
