Ben,
The ESRI-files I received as been converted to points and ways and have been uploaded directly to the OSM-server in that form. But, concidering storing the original files in some central place, the issue is that I have a spoken agreement with the person who provided these files "for uploading them to the openstreetmap-project". I have never spoken to him about giving these files to other people or something like that. That's exactly one of the reasons why I think some kinf of "written agreement" would not be a bad thing. At least, it provides clearity on who does what, what information is stored where, etc. In the end, this is in the interest of everybody! Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
