That's a funny distinction you're making there.
Technically, anyone "can" use any data source, even if it is not
compatible with the OSM license; if this is found out, that data will of
course be removed.
Assuming that Nearmap-derived data is indeed not compatible with the
future OSM license, I fail to understand how contributing data that will
later be deleted is a "privilege".
I will not discuss this issue further on the talk list, as it is a topic
for legal-talk and will only annoy those on talk who are not interested
in legal matters.
