What happens if a non-PD editor edits PD data? Does it become non-PD or does it

This is why we need one licence for everyone.
I'm happy for my GPXs to be PD, but not my edits.
Surely if a person releases something under PD, he/she is giving up all rights
to that information, be it software, data, etc.
So what's to stop OSM doing what they want with the data.
For instance if the whole of the OSM database was public domain. A private
company could write some mapping software that uses OSM data, And there would
be nothing to stop them selling this software and data together.
Or have I got this PD thing all wrong ?
I'm also happy for my GPXs to be PD, but not my edits.
Cheers, Ian
