As Andrew pointed out explicit permission is required to import/trace
etc, data you do not own. It's part of the contributor terms of osm.
http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms
This basically says "if you don't own the data then you have permission
to use it".
Otherwise as below:

Hi,
I just wanted to double check before I do this as people seem to talk
casually about using Vicmap Lite data but the OSM Wiki has a long
process to go through with the community before doing any imports.
I have downloaded "Statewide Public Land Classification boundaries,
polygon - 1:250,000 to 1 :2 million. Vicmap Lite". It is CC
BY-4.0-International.
I want to add boundaries of some local state forests I frequent, using
this data. My questions are
* Can I just go ahead and do it?
Probably not as you don't have explicit permission.
* I haven't done boundaries before, do I need a shared node where
roads and waterways cross the boundary?
No
* What if there is an existing overlapping area natural=wood that
follows the aerial tree extent (which doesn't exactly match the
boundary)? Leave them both there? Do I need natural=wood on the state
forest boundary area to, to make it display green? What about the
conflict there?
Yes but it's going to depend on the actual boundary. It may be that
there is a firebreak and someone has traced the wood outline but the
boundary is actually about 5metres away. Maybe have a look at doing one
area and post a link to get feedback from others.
* Anything else to watch for?
Don't join boundaries to things that are not boundaries.
Cheers
Ross
