While the WMF does not claim any rights in wikidata contents, it
does not make any representations (one way or the other) as to third
party rights in the data. As an illustration: you could dump all of
OSM in to wikidata and the WMF would not need to change or do
anything. <br>

There is not really a practical and meaningful way in which an OSM
contributor could do that, outside of facts that they have surveyed
themselves and kept separate.<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Without it, OSM data is licensed
under ODbL, and cannot be copied. We should make it easier to
detect what piece of OSM data is in PD. I do like your USB
analogy :) About names - you will be surprised to discover
that MB and other places are actively pursuing Wikidata
integration because WD tends to have a huge names list,
possibly bigger than OSM itself?<br>

That is nice for MB, but problematic in more than one way for OSM.<br>
