I've been mapping off and on since April 2006, and I've contributed approximately 1320 changesets in that time. Only three of which include OS data. Are all my contributions going to be rejected? I have not, as yet, signed up to the new CTs, though was intending to.
I'm now not touching OS data - but is it too late? Surely it's just a question of removing the 'tainted' changesets? Or, to be safe, all the changesets I've contributed since the OS data became available?

I thought this was still to be confirmed? It may not be that important to townies but there is a lot of value in the OS data for rural mappers (woods, streams, rivers, coastline, etc.) and it is a crucial issue for me. It is still to be confirmed. The situation at the moment is there is no guarantee that OS OpenData is compatible with the CT's. Hence if you currently contribute anything based on OS OpenData to OSM you run the risk that you will be prevented from contributing to OSM in the future. To be clear about this, you can still continue to contribute OS OpenData to OSM providing you have not, and do not, agree to the new contributor terms. If you have already contributed content derived from OS OpenData then you cannot and should not agree to the contributor terms as they currently stand. Your contributions will not be lost because there will probably always be a place where these contributions continue to be editable and available under CC-BY-SA. This may not be OSM but it is likely there will be sites that continue to maintain CC-BY-SA licensed content. I am aware that the LWG have been considering the matter since at least 8 June [1] , but that as 17 August they have yet to ask legal counsels opinion on this [2].
