I'm aware of both of those projects, but they aim to gather postcodes and latitude longitude data. My aim at the moment is to create a database containing street addresses and postcode data.
I have no problem releasing the extracted postcodes under the CCBYSA licence that the OSM data uses, the data is intended to be free and open after all. I'm just unsure as what I need to quote for attribution, ie whether it is enough to state that the data came from OSM or not.
