Hello fellow OSMers.

As you are no doubt aware, OSM requires that data imports be listed on the OSM 
Wiki ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue ), including if the 
source is “ODbL OK status”. 

At the Nov. 2022 OSMF Board meeting (25 Nov), the Board voted that imports 
should, from now on, list whether the data source is compatibly (or 
incompatible) with the OSM Contributor Terms¹.

The Board has also budgeted to commission a template that OSMers can use to 
request that data sources release their data under those terms. That will obv. 
follow later. However given that OSM is mostly volunteer run, I don't know 
if/when that will be ready for you.

The minutes of the meeting have not yet been written, nor accepted, but when 
they are (in about a month), you will find the specifics here):
