I think it would be good to separate - at least in our minds - the core geodata from the "user data" or maybe "metadata" of who did what when and using which operating system and editor. The core geodata will always be freely available under the ODbL, and you would not "make OSM non-free" by omitting e.g. user information from that. Many current distribution forms (e.g. standard Overpass responses, vector tiles, Garmin maps) already omit user information. You could then offer the user information (needed for quality control etc.) under separate rules (that say "for project internal use only"). This would automatically mean, that someone who runs a HDYC-like site would have to put a login in front of the site in order to ensure that he complies with the "internal use only" rule.
