With the current terms and conditions you need to have permission of the
work owner to add it to the database.
Something that is licenced CC-BY-SA does not imply permission.
There have been numerous debates on this pre and post licence change in 2012
See here for an example of what has been done previously:

The licensing statement at
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/legalcode
and the human readable version seem to me to indicate that its use is
OK provided you give appropriate credit and show a link to the license.
I was looking for a way to import National Park Boundaries into OSM.
The data is there but, lets face it the licensing issues are so
complex that I do not know if we are allowed.
I have put a boundary around John Forrest National Park, just east of
Midland WA, ex an shp file from mapconnect. Easily revertible.
I would appreciate a response to the licensing issue and if the
boundary definition is OK.
Thanks
Warren
