As is, it's probably incompatible with how OSM operates, as the data
is transmitted through an API, in parts, mixed with other data, and
distributed as rendered tiles. The license really only considers the
case where the data was distributed as is .. I don't think they've
considered a use case like OSM.
I'd suggest it's worth inquiring with the MN DOT, explaining the
goals of OSM and how it works, and see if they'd have any problem
with OSM using their data with a different type of attribution
(something like a note in the wiki would be perfectly doable).
From my reading of the disclaimer, I think MNDOT's goal is simply to
avoid being blamed for any problems users might have stemming from use
of the data. I don't think they're trying to control distribution,
especially given that you can download the data from the website
anonymously.
