I recently updated a few of the Australian sources in OpenAddresses which had stalled. See https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/19432f89-dc3a-4ef3-b943-5326ef1dbecc/resource/09f74802-08b1-4214-a6ea-3591b2753d30/ "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 form the generation of an address or a compilation or 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."

Not open enough for OSM, but open enough for most use cases.
