In my personal opinion, I would assume items being imported in an individual
fashion with human input are subject to the data license policies of OSM, but
are not subject to the community imports approval process, as there's no risk
mitigation to be concerned with. If something you want to add has a
questionably compatible license, I would assume that would require license
verification at a minimum, but this is a gray area in the current OSM policies,
and should be specifically noted and revised in the import guidelines.
