sorry to be pedantic, but when you say "the second paragraph allows edits

hadn't accepted the new CTs
at the time of submission) ..... to stay in the database", do you mean
it
is OK for someone who in the past has made edits based on Nearmap
imagery,
(and who has not yet agreed to the CT's because they had used Nearmap) ,
to
now agree to the CT's without being in breach of Nearmaps T & C's?
I know this may seem like splitting hairs, but there is a difference
between "allowing edits to remain in the database" which is something OSM
sysadmins have control over, and "allowing users to agree to the CT's"
which
is something individual OSM users have control over, and I'm just trying
to
understand , as someone who has used Nearmap, but not agreed to the CT's,
where I stand.
Pedantic is ok, this was written by lawyers!
The second paragraph was drafted specifically to allow any NearMap-derived
edits made up to the 17th of June to stay in the OSM database. As I
understand it, this statement allows a user to sign up to the new CTs
without violating our licence in respect of those edits.
