I agree with Rob 100% on this, it is pretty obvious that the Government intends for this data to be freely usable by businesses and projects like OSM. This has been covered to death a number of times in the past. There is a lot of external data in OSM that requires attribution. The way the project handles that seems to work pretty well regardless of what the amateur lawyers may say. It is very hard to imagine the circumstances where OSM would face any issues from using these datasets and if that were to occur then the data can be removed as has happened when other data sources have been challenged in the past. If you don't want to use this data in OSM then don't use it but you are not the arbiter deciding what others may do.
