We are asking for "a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable licence to do any act that is restricted by copyright, database right or any related right over anything within the Contents, whether in the original medium or any other." Do you have reason to believe the "irrevocable" part is invalid? "Contents" means "data and/or any other content (collectively, “Contents”)" [which the user contributes] "to the geo-database of the OpenStreetMap project" https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Contributor_Terms Account deletions are another issue, but don't seem complicated: remove the human readable account alias and e-mail forwarding and prevent it from editing.
