From the FAQ:

Data contributed to ODbL licensed datasets will be contributed under both the 
ODbL and CDLA permissive v2. Contributions to CDLA permissive v2 datasets will 
be contributed under the CDLA permissive v2.

I don't know these licenses. Are they open enough such this project's data can 
be used by OSM?

ODbL is the licence used by OSM. Its background is more from European database copyright 
than open source. It's a share-alike licence with required attribution. CDLA I'd never 
heard of, but it seems like a "let's make the MIT license, but for data". Many 
VC-funded startups balk at the share-alike and attribution requirements of OSM, because 
they just want the free data and earn money from contributors' work.

This looks like Overture can consume OSM data, but OSM can't use Overture's 
data easily. What a surprise.
