I'm doing this too. Mapping in FOSM in Australia with nearmap, agri (in the future for non-nearmap areas), surveyed data, gps tracks... I don't want to go backwards with the current data, and am quite happy with CC-BY-SA (I would prefer CC0, but I'm willing to compromise), I would like to keep using nearmap, decliners data and CC-BY data hence I'm uploading to FOSM. Also I want to minimise disruption to others since I've observed a larger number of constructive edits going into FOSM in Sydney than OSM, I'm going to keep contributing to FOSM as a service to others. I still support OSM though. For instance I recently visited Vancouver and collected a small amount of data. Since I'm not aware of a large fosm presence there and because I only used my own data sources I uploaded those edits to OSM rather than FOSM. I don't support a global FOSM. I support FOSM where there is a large active community of people who wish to keep using CC-BY-SA, but I support OSM if there isn't much fosm activity but lots of OSM activity in that area.

Since they abandoned the original founders idea of a media company (like Google) and instead turned the company in an imagery sales company trying to squeeze every dollar right now (like AAMHatch). Still not good news, lets see where this goes. Hopefully Ben can provide some insight.
