I'm still think that the foundation owns everyone's data already. When you sign up, it says: "By creating an account, you agree that all work uploaded to openstreetmap.org and all data created by use of any tools which connect to openstreetmap.org is to be licensed under this Creative Commons license (by-sa)." I read that as anything I give to OSM, they will license back to me (and everyone else) under CC-by-sa. It can't possibly mean that I am licensing it to them under CC-by-sa, because they don't even remotely comply with the 'by' part of that license.
