By this definition opening bing imagery and 'importing' a single
roundabout, a track, a building outline etc would each need to be
compliant with the import guidelines.

From the opening paragraph:
"Importing (also known as Bulk Importing) is the process of uploading
external data to OSM"
the keyword is uploading. So as you open a shape file, kml, geojson,
or whatnot in your favourite editor/script it then becomes an import.

Could I have clarification please? I had previously read the Import
Guidelines as referring to large scale imports of whole datasets (which
could have wide ramifications if there were problems) but not to items
being added individually and incrementally as occurred with LPI NSW
data. Do the import guidelines apply to all data from other sources
even when only individual items are being added to OSM at any one time?

Just a gentle reminder that there is a list of steps that you have
to go
through before you start importing data into OSM*:

*Yeap I realise I'm being a terrible hypocrite here. I think we managed
to achieve two out of the five steps required with the NSW LPI import.
Turns out that not planning an import does result in a not
insignificant
level of PITA. Which is why I was hoping to avoid this in the future.

Feedback from the legal-talk list is that the reply from the

use PSMA datasets in OSM.
As far as I can ascertain, the lines on the Contributors page of the
wiki, referring to PSMA boundaries, were added by a user named
Reubot a
little over three months ago. However a search for this user
returned a
result that there was no user of this name - I'm not sure how that
works and someone else may understand how this could be so. This user
also added Brisbane City Council as a source in the Contributors
page so
someone may wish to check if that data is actually permitted in OSM
either. I'm not sure how much data was actually added to OSM from
PSMA
by this user or anyone else.
Sorry about that, I was under the impression that it was covered by
the
data.gov.au permission. I only added Brisbane and Redlands and am
now in
the process of undoing. I have sent an email to QLD Department of
Natural Resources and Mines to asking for explicit permission to use
their (boundary) datasets instead.
The Brisbane City Council data should be good as I got explicit
permission:
