I strongly disagree. As a group of people who have received extra-judicial powers in the OSM community, they should be expected to follow community guidelines to a higher degree than the rest of the community.
As the publisher of the OSM database, the OSMF has various legal obligations. When we become aware of data that has been illegally copied into OSM we need to stop distributing that data, generally by deleting it and redacting the old versions so they are no longer accessible. It's worth discussing if we can refine the identification of data illegally copied data, but we need to remove it in the end, regardless of if we want to.
