Hi Paul!

Yes, we can.

As already listed German speaking countries are affected.
German speaking countries are Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
As far as I remember there are single datasets in France and Italy, which are of such a little number that they do not deserve the title and the process of an import.

We will start the discussion on the country mailing lists as soon as we have an estimation of the number of datasets for each import method.
(My plan: Address and house number available // street and housenumber interpolation // geocoded // OSB)

Yes, as already listet the donator owns the data.
The CFB e.V. sells the locks for wheelchair toilets and collects the data where they are built in. They have refused to sell the data to commercial map makers and want to give it explicitely to OSM, so the license is accepted.

See above. In Germany we have many housenumbers already, so we hope to have many matches. Unsure data goes to OpenStreetBugs instead.
We will also have to make a check for duplicates, of course.

Done.

Best regards,
