Let's just distinguish between the types of data :
1. The commercial partner can keep ownership of the original raster
data (photos).
2. Derived vector data that is uploaded to the OSM servers will be
placed under the OSM license.

So there are many options
A. He sets up his own server and continues to own the vector data.
Don't expect help from the community.
B. He sets up a WMS with specific rules as to what vector data we may
derive from it. For example "only roads, but no POIs". This will work
quite well, because JOSM supports may WMS sources and he can choose
which members of the community he wants to allow.
