Allow me a clarifying question in the midst of this interesting debate. It appears to me that the only "data" in OSM is the underlying GPS tracks. That data has been interpreted by the users into nodes and ways that find their way into planet.osm. Making those nodes and ways, the users employ their judgement and knowledge about the landscape, as in "I don't trust the the GPS track around here because of trees and tall buildings," or "I'll place a POI there because I know it's a pretty good pizza place. I'll look up the opening hours too." I would argue that the latter is creative works and not under the category considered by the CC to be "data"?
