Sadly, I dont think anyone can give a proper answer, whichever list the question was on. The Australian case is different because so much of our data has come from sources which arent compatible with the new terms. Basically almost anyone who has edited within Australia within the last couple of years (especially those edits with potlatch) has used the NearMap source or an ABS source, however they will agree to the terms under threat of not being able to continue to participate in the projcet, with no care for the licence of any edits they may have made. Generally people dont care about licence problems, they just get told they have to click a box to continue editing, so they do so. Honestly, how many people do you think that clicked the accept button, actually read the entire new licence and terms and checked that all their previous edits comply? The only purpose this serves, is to taint the project with data that may or may not have rights restrictions, but by the time that becomes an issue no-one will remember what was what.
