This rule means that everything that is traced from Bing before OSM stops

I certainly didn't read it that way. The Bing license says you must
contribute traced data to openstreetmaps.org, but it doesn't say you
can't also contribute traced data to a fork.
Of course you can, but at your own risk - although I'm with you that
it's very small. But as long as there is no court rule nobody knows for
sure :-).
Bing explicitly says it's ok for contributing to OSM. It doesn't mention
any other site. In my opinion a fork has to ask for approval as did OSM
if it wants certitude.
