Well we do seem to have cases with a PD statement, were the data is in fact
(potentially) encumbered and the mapper probably actually wanted to
apply the
statement only to the data which he originally created and his edits.
See TimSCs
wiki page for a mapper (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:TimSC) that
realized that and tries to fix it.
And now the OSMF is supposed to second guess what all the mappers with
similar statements really intended to say?

I'd come down on the other side of this line. It would be easier to
argue that some long click-through agreement was unread or
misunderstood. An explicit statement that you have included on your
wiki page that your edits are unencumbered, in the public domain and
freely available for any use is pretty convincing to me.
I'm still using some public domain sources to assist in contributing
to OSM. I don't think anything I have agreed to in the CT prevents me
from using other's PD contributions incorporated with mine, and I'm
currently quite comfortable in that position.
Ian.
