There's a couple sides to this.
OSMF is limited to distributing the data under ODbL or CC-By-SA as per
the contributor terms; using any other license would require a license
change process as outlined in the contributor terms.
It's also important to remember that there is also a significant amount
of third-party data in OSM under the ODbL or compatible licenses, and
the OSMF's guidelines are of limited influence there. This is one reason
why I was particularly concerned when companies were failing to meet
ODbL attribution requirements[1], as it wasn't just OSM contributor
rights which were being infringed, but also the third party rights.
