I rather think the non-responders could have been a separate category, and their data could have been kept.
Doesn't fly legally, sadly. You can't say "I'm ignoring any rights on this item just because the rights-holder hasn't responded to my e-mails".
That said, I did once live near a tiny village (population 41) that claimed to be "Twinned with Paris" on the basis that they'd written to Paris asking for a twinning, and received no reply. I guess that's a similar idea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitwell,_Rutland
The license bot damage will take decades to recover from.
Not at all. OSM has only existed since 2004, and the redaction affected <1% of the database globally. At a very conservative estimate it's 29 days' work (8*365*0.01); in reality, we _already_ have more nodes in the database than we did before the redaction started. Such is the rate at which the map is growing.
