Interesting question, especially considering that all other external data sources have much more restrictive license - e.g. mapilary id or any url/website tag (which is technically also an ID into another data source)... Also, what about the location where data is combined? E.g. if wikidata is in public domain, and US courts agree with that statement, anyone in the US can combine it with OSM data? What about UK? In any case, i suspect nothing we decide has any merit until the actual court case in any of the locations.
