Sorry, I have not been following closely... Seems the ABS data is CC-BY 2.5 licensed. Mike of Licensing Working Group been doing some leg work with regard to the licensing of AU Gov imported data. Worth noting ODbL is an attribution license and there has been progress on firming our attribution of sources eg: http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright I'll ask Mike for a progress update. 1) No data is being removed 1st April 2011. If a dataset cannot be re-licensed after all avenues and communication have been exhausted it would be 'removed' likely the earliest near the end of the year. 2) Split ways retains the underlying nodes. If the nodes were not available the new split way would not be retained. Data is rolled-upward. Additional in-depth work is still required here once the scope is better understood. Jim Brown was working on some of this see: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2010-August/020124.html 3) No, you are not prevented unless your account was used for the import itself.
