The priority is to keep OSM unencumbered, and accordingly in all cases I'm aware of we have sought permission from the data owner or a compatible licence rather than rely on a legal technicality to use the data against the data owner's wishes. With respect, if we are going to do down the path of using data against the owner's wishes using the law as a shield, I'd want to see a pretty solid legal opinion covering all aspects of the data use, not just copyright, as each case will depend on its own facts.
