Is there a source for this statement?
Go back to all the discussions in the 12 months prior to the licence
change. This was one of the major sticking points for a number of
contributors.
I was under the assumption that in order to contribute data (whether
your own or someone else's) into OSM, the data must comply with the
contributor terms. Although the CTs agree to always give attribution,
this (probably) still isn't compatible with the attribution required
by CC-BY and the "provide a link to the license and indicate if
changes were made" clauses of CC-BY. So my thinking is for data to be
added to OSM under the current CTs it needs to waive these
requirements of CC-BY and settle for attribution only (and perhaps a
specific form of attribution).
As you point out though this data is upto 8 years old and in many
cases there is probably better or more current data available eg
Tasmanian Estate Reserve.
CAPAD is seems pretty good,
