The "active contributor" definition contains "who that has edited"
("who" or "that" is not needed).

Can you explain what "You do not need to guarantee that [contributed
data is compatible with our license]" means? Since OSMF is not bound
to remove such conflicting data is there any possibility a user can
submit such data without automatically being in violation of the third
party's rights?

(I have the same doubt about not guaranteeing compatibility with
future OSM licenses)

Cheers
