I think you'll find there are two separate "they"s in this sentence; the first one is Microsoft, the other they is the OSM tool builders. Read like that it makes more sense. Planning to enable access is not the same as enabling access. So, at the moment, we can't use it. Once the official announcement (with any conditions, attribution required, limitations in area or other things I can't think of at the moment) is made, we'll know more. It being Thanksgiving week, I'd say next week at the earliest, and if they have to run things through lawyers or layers of management for sign-off first it could take months.
