I have to agree that this might be a useful resource for establishing reasonably current land usage. However the first two bullet points of their terms immediately give me a problem: 1. "not to use the data/applications/maps/graphs for commercial purposes unless the Agency has expressly granted the right to do so;" As OSM does not preclude commercial use we would need to get specific approval. 2. "to acknowledge the source and display the link to the data provider (EEA or any other data provider listed in the Data service). For all freely available EEA data/applications/maps/graphs the acknowledgement should read: "C EEA, Copenhagen, <production year>"" Giving this level of attribution would be a problem. While we could include the data provider name in the overall OSM attribution list we would not be able to provide a specific link to them. I'd suggest you write to the EEA to seek clarification and whether they would be prepared to offer to OSM (and its CC by SA licence) and if the attribution return link can be relaxed.
