Nobody has disputed that.

The text in question says (paraphrased): "OSM is a noncommercial 
project, we collect data for everyone to use as they see fit.".

That text is, in my eyes, not incorrect, not even misleading, but an 
accurate description of what OSM is about. I think I am not sure what 
your point is.
