I think you're overly concerned about clause 2 when 1a and 1b of the CTs[1] seem fairly clear, in particular: 1a) If you contribute Contents, You are indicating that, as far as You know, You have the right to authorize OSMF to use and distribute those Contents under our current licence terms And if the OSM licence ever changes again and the data is then deemed incompatible then the OSMF can delete it (the rest of 1a and 1b). Andy Allan also provided a good argued answer to a similar question to yours on http://help.openstreetmap.org [2] in case you haven't seen it.
