Through our network, we found out that a group at the American University of Beirut called The Neighbourhood Initiative (AUB-NI) has done a survey of all of the buildings in the city. The data can be viewed here <https://scholarworks.aub.edu.lb/handle/10938/10283?show=full>. As far as I understand (and of course i'm not a legal expert), the license on the data from the AUB-NI is not incompatible with the Open Database License. In any case, my understanding is that they got the data freely from the municipality.
The license on that page is for non-commercial use only. Because it discriminates by field of use, it's not an open license and cannot be used as a data source by OSM. Before doing any other work on the import, I'd see if you have a chance at getting them to release the data under a different license. If you don't, there's no point to doing other work on it.
