IANAL but as I understand it, you would have to have them release the data as public domain, under CC0, or under Open Database License (the latter is the OSM license). I don't think something like "permission for use in OpenStreetMap" would be sufficient, as the OSM licensing is intended to also allow use of OSM data in other projects.
