Yes, and a lot are against, too.

The problem isn't that they'll prosecute *you* (OSM data belongs to the OSM
foundation, so they'll prosecute OSM), but that all your data and *all
future modifications based on that* could be reverted to a state previous to
your modifications..

I don't follow the legal list, but the perception I have from reading the
common lists about wikipedia imports is: "it's not fully safe to do that,
so, don't risk".
