I believe srtm2osm uses void filled data that is copyrighted. So is you do distribute the results make sure that you specify it's only for academic research. IANAL.
I used srtm2osm to make an OSM file of over 1 GB and played around with it in gosmore. Distributing gosmore files that include srtm contours will be pretty cool especially for hiking. But making a setup that uses the PD data and does not exceed the 420MB limit on WinCE will take some effort.
