I'd say; contact them and see what kind of objections they come up with. I contacted De Lijn and they want a 'guarantee' that all the data in our database be 100% correct and most importantly, up to date. If MIVB wants the same kind of guarantee, maybe we shoulld set up a separate project with its own database under the database license OSM is going to use. That way correctness of the imports into that database can be guaranteed.
if they prohibit commercial use, you can forget about it though, as the DB license OSM will be using shortly does not prohibit commercial use. And there is no way of stopping commercial use once it's 'set free' under that license.
