I was looking at the data awhile back especally the buildings and address points that I would like to import or help import. I sent the generic mapping contact listing an email explaining OSM and requesting permission to use the data. But I never got a response. Maybe there is another person we could contact for clarification. Sounds like a PDDL licence would allow us to use the data. The data may already be public domain.
