OSM already can't and doesn't use anything from wikipedia since wiki coordinates are tainted with derived google maps data. (by US standards, the coordinates are just facts, non-copyrightable and okay that wikipedians collect them that way). By UK/EU law, google maps derived data is protected by database rights and osm operates under such. ODBL is attempting to address database rights while CC-BY-SA does not. Sharing and reusing osm data on wikipedia is okay and think still will be with license change but not sure what we need to do to ensure we comply with license terms.
