This isn't the only issue, but at a minimum there is an extra clause in the GNAF license [1] >The EULA terms are based on the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International >license (CC BY 4.0). However, an important restriction relating to the use of >the open G-NAF for the sending of mail has been added. >The open G-NAF data must not be used for the generation of an address or the >compilation of an address for the sending of mail unless the user has verified >that each address to be used for the sending of mail is capable of receiving >mail by reference to a secondary source of information. Further information on >this use restriction is available here. I don't think the permission you point to waives this requirement. Hence it's incompatible with being imported into OSM.
