The PD check box is purely advisory, see
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/We_Are_Changing_The_License#What_Are_The_Choices.3F
Note that the CTs guarantee that required attribution will survive any
future licence changes (or data with such requirements would have to be
removed) so the likelihood of a switch to PD actually happening is
negligible. Despite the amount of FUD that continues to be generated on
exactly this point.

Hypothetically, if some years in the future, OSMF proposed a switch to

can they assume my acceptance from that?
Yes, most certainly.
The Contributors Terms, says: "You hereby grant to OSMF a worldwide,
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable licence".
So the public domain checkbox isn't that important.. :-)
