That's fair to say.  I put my faith in the people of OSM, not the  
license.  The process of editing OSM is what protects us.  We're a  
community, and if you try to take data outside the community, you  
voluntarily separate yourself from the community (note: the Amish  
don't kick people out when they shun them -- they note that the person  
has separated themselves from the community -- and the community  
responds in turn).
