*Copying data to Wikidata from OSM* (or even from other Wikimedia projects) *is
not allowed* because Wikidata uses the public-domain style Creative Commons CC0
license which does not contain any attribution or share-alike provisions.
Conversely, data may be copied from Wikidata without restriction.
(OSM is licensed under the Open Database License)
This applies to any copyrightable material. Facts ("this is a lighthouse") are
not copyrightable.
Facts are not copyrightable, but in EU a lot of facts are when they are
assembled in a database due to sui generis database right.
I suppose that OSM falls under UK law and thereby EU sui generis
database right, so systematic extraction of OSM data into Wikidata will
constitute a violation in EU of the Open Database License terms.
